I started cooking for Thanksgiving today. Our holiday won’t be as big this year because of Covid 19, but I intend to prepare all of our old favorite foods, and those of us who are together can be thankful for each other.
I made my pumpkin pies today. I just don’t think it would be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. I have a special recipe that I use each year, and everyone does seem like it very much. I thought I’d share the recipe with you. Give it a try sometime. I think you’ll like it
Pumpkin Pie
pie
1 16 oz. pumpkin
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsps. pumpkin pie spice
In large bowl, mix all ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour into unbaked 10 inch pie shells. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake 35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on rick and chill.
Topping
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 cup pecans
2 TBSP. water.
IN a small saucepan cook all ingredients until golden brown. Pour onto greased foil. Cool. Chop
Whipped Cream topping
1 tsp. unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup dark rum or praline liqueur
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over the rum. Heat to dissolve gelatin. Cool. in bowl combine cream, confectioners sugar, and rum mixture. Beat until stiff peaks form. Chill. Before using stir until fluffy. Spoon onto center of chilled pie. Sprinkle with praline topping.
I hope everyone has a marvelous Thanksgiving. Stay safe.
I love pumpkin pie, but hubby won’t eat it, and since we’ll be alone tomorrow I’ll have to wait until there are more people to share it with. I’m saving your recipe, though – it looks nice and easy. Have a wonderful holiday!

Pumpkin is one of my favorite types of pie. Since 2010, however, when I had to forego any food with any traces of gluten, I’ve had to stay away from pie, generally.
Oh, sure… I can cut away the bottom crust and eat the rest. But that’s so barbaric.

Yes. Awfully barbaric.

Can you just scoop out the pie filling, Jeff? Even that bothers my son.He can’t eat the turkey if there is bread stuffing. I have made pumpkin custard/baked pumpkin filling on the side
