I adore this pumpkin serving bowl!! I could not believe it was only $15! It looks exactly like my Pottery Barn serving dishes and is literally a fraction of the price.

Notes
This recipe is good served immediately but I think it’s even better the next day as leftovers so the flavors have time to “get familiar” overnight. This is a great recipe to make in advance or keep in the freezer!
