Pretty Pumpkin Wontons Recipe

By pattie_d

This is a sensational, easy recipe, great for an appetizer, snack or dessert. The flavors meld beautifully and everyone loves it. I made it up after having squash ravioli at a restaurant and I wanted to make my own twist on that idea.

Ingredients

• DIP:
• 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 40 wonton wrappers
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup Daisy Brand Sour Cream
• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin, cheese and salt. Place 1 tablespoonful in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten edges with water; bring corners to center over filling and press edges together to seal. Repeat.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry wontons in batches for 30-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine dip ingredients. Serve with wontons. Yield: 40 wontons (1-1/2 cups dip).
