When I was 6 years old I went to Puerto Rico for the first time. My abuelita Rosa made me Fried Pumpkin Fritters. OMG! Were they delicious I ate so many I couldn't move for hours. When I got older I remember going back when I was 18 and she still made them the same way. I miss you and love you! Grandma Rosa

6In a frying pan add about 1 cup of cooking oil. If you are using a large pan use 1/2 cup that it covers the pan. Heat oil medium to high but not that it burns the oil. You know your stove.

7Using a large soup spoon scoop up a mound of pumpkin mixture and places it in the pan. Add a couple at a time do not over crowd your pan. Let cook when they turn golden brown flip over to the other side. Do not burn

8When they are done, place them on a double ply towel or brown paper bag to absorp the excess oil.

9When they are cool, you can add cinnamon or powder sugar to them. I like them plain but my cousin s like them with both the cinnamon and the powder sugar. Enjoy!
