After Halloween I got several large pumpkins from Food Town for $1 each. Then I cooked them down and blended the pumpkin with some of the cooking water to the consistency of baby food. Then for every 2 cups of pumpkin I added 1/2 cup honey and 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Then I pored it out thin on my dehydrator trays and dehydrated it until it felt dry. Yummy!
Tips: I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I used a recipe for the mix.

You could also try doing with in your oven instead of a dehydrator.
