As we prepare for America’s next big holiday, Thanksgiving, what to do with pumpkins? Practice making Pumpkin Pies!

The definition of Pumpkin Pie from Wikipedia:

Pumpkin pie is a traditional sweet dessert, often eaten during the fall and early winter, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas in the United States and Canada. The pumpkin is a symbol of harvest time and featured also at Halloween.

The pie consists of a pumpkin-based custard, ranging in color from orange to brown, baked in a single pie shell, rarely with a top crust. The pie is generally flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

This pie is often made from canned pumpkin or packaged pumpkin pie filling (spices included).

To make Pumpkin Pie, you do not need to make the crust of the pie. Those you can buy at the grocery store in the FROZEN food department.
