I know a lot of people are gearing up for Thanksgiving at this time. But coming from the West Indies where it's not celebrated, I really don't put THAT much emphasis into it as I do with Christmas. And for me Christmas means black cake, ponche de creme and ginger beer. So I'm sharing with you this pumpkin version of this popular drink. And this one is a ponche de creme without eggs recipe.
