How to Make Pumpkin Mash

In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, and butter over medium heat.

Stir the mixture until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.

Add salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the pumpkin mixture.

Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.

If desired, stir in maple syrup for added sweetness.

Remove from heat and taste; adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the pumpkin mash to a serving bowl.

Serve warm as a side dish.
