Friday Links: Pumpkin Recipes

The first Friday in October seems to call for an abundance of pumpkin recipes.  Pumpkin cans line the shelves and fresh pumpkins are in the produce section.  The trees are bright gold under a blue sky, and afternoon hikes are rewarded with baked treats and hearty meals.  Below are some unique pumpkin recipes to go along with the traditional pies and breads.
