Great dessert for fall. I have made pumpkin bread pudding, but don't remember having rice pudding with pumpkin. Spices were just right, and not too sweet. I left out the raisins (we don't like them), but will try it next time with dried cranberries. I cut the recipe in half with no problem. Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.
