Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat half-and-half and heavy cream until bubbles form around sides of pan. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, salt, cloves and nutmeg.
Remove cream from the heat; stir a small amount of hot cream into egg mixture. Return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Stir in the pumpkin, syrup and vanilla.
Transfer to eight stoneware demitasse cups or 2-oz. ramekins.
Place cups in a baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 25-30 minutes for demitasse cups and 20-25 minutes for ramekins or until centers are just set (mixture will jiggle).
Remove cups from water bath; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours.
Garnish with whipped cream and additional nutmeg.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Custard can be paired with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
