Pumpkin Butter A New Found Love

Pumpkin Butter is Yum to the McYummersons! Yesterday, my coworker, Jeanette and I headed north to Erie, CO, a rural town 40 mins north of Denver. THANKFULLY we didnt get lost. And btw, had we kept going for another 80 miles, we could have been in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Yes, that is very strange to us too. And it's amazing how flat the land gets out there, it's like Kansas except pretty mtns towards the west. I had no idea Wyoming was so close but then again the west all blended together to be back in elementary school. Anywho, Anderson Farms in Erie, Co hosts a HUGE fall festival prior to Halloween. This place has 1000s of acres of farm land with a huge pick your own pumpkin patch (hayride needed to get out there), farm animals, CORN maize (we got lost and cheated to get out!), and best of all... ALL kinds of fresh homemade preserves, foods, etc. A great little escape out of the city!
