Fran’s Baked Goods will be a vendor at the Duke Farmer’s Market this coming season. So, if you happen to be at Duke on a Friday this spring and summer and need a yummy snack, she will be selling this dip partnered with some local produce.

1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
