Pumpkin Fritters & Caramel Sauce

Submitted by OceanIvy

"I found this recipe not too long ago and HAD to post it! It sounds so good! This is a African recipe. You may use the caramel sauce or use cinnamon and confectioners' sugar instead. I think the caramel sauce just makes it perfect though! Some of the amounts need to be converted but it is quite easy to do. Enjoy! 8)"

Fritters themselves where very good but the sauce was a disaster. After boiling for an hour all I had was very sweet milk. Eventually used it to make milk tart. Found a different recipe to use for the sauce
