Place the saucepan over low heat and close the lid. Every 5 minutes, gently shake the saucepan to mix the pumpkins with the melting sugar. If you're using a wooden spoon, be careful not to smash the pumpkin cubes.
Continue cooking until the pumpkins are tender, then remove from heat and let them cool.
Pour in all the heavy cream and lower the heat. Whisk continuously until everything is well blended. Increase the heat back to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid starts boiling. This usually takes around 10 minutes.
Once it's boiling, keep the sauce on the heat for an additional 2 minutes, still stirring.
Remove the sauce from the heat. Once it's warm, whisk in the rum, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Taste and adjust the salt or vanilla to your liking.
To serve, arrange the cooled pumpkin cubes on skewers. Offer them with a small bowl of the butterscotch sauce and a few walnuts on the plate.
