Notes

START TWO DAYS BEFORE BREW DAY!

3 cans of Liddy's Pumpkin sludge sat in a strainer for 24 hours to drain excess water. Smeared across baking sheet then baked at 350F for 45 minutes. Take out of the oven and add molasses, brown sugar and maple syrup. Mix into pumpkin mush then bake again for 45 minutes checking often to prevent burning. Orange goo should now look well-baked but not burnt. Chill in fridge
