Bill loved my new slant on an old holiday favorite Pumpkin Pie!
Well another holiday done, and one more to go for this year! And of all holidays, Christmas, is my favorite so I am looking forward to it. But Thanksgiving was a nice day, and dinner went off very nicely. Everyone enjoyed the feast. One of the big favorites this year was the pumpkin pie. I changed the recipe a little bit from what I usually do. From the responses I got I would say it was a good idea! In fact Bill said the pie was “great”! The recipe I have used for years is the recipe you find on the Libby’s pumpkin puree can. Here’s a link to the Libby recipe – Libby’s Pumpkin Pie . But this year I changed an ingredient, added some others, and adjusted some quantities. It was creamy, smooth, and delicious.

My sister has been pushing for an “all pie” Thanksgiving meal for sometime now but I don’t think my dad would go for it. However, the end of the meal pies are important and must include pecan pie (my favorite)!

It was really, really good! I was suprised what a big difference the changes made. It made it much richer. Using the eggnog was because I messed up in my shopping. I thought I had evaporated milk on hand and when I went to the cupboard the night before Thanksgiving, I found it was condensed milk. That would have been way too sweet! And there was no running to the store because here in the Maine Northwoods it would have been an 80 mile round trip to the nearest store that would have been open at that time – 6:30 PM on Thanksgiving eve. Necessity is the mother of invention! I had eggnog so I tried that and from now on that is what I am going to use!
