Food: Pumpkin Pie

What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving? One of our favorite things about Thanksgiving (besides spending quality time with family) is the pumpkin pie dessert. We love pumpkin pie. It's a treat we only get to enjoy in the Fall. We've added a pumpkin pie recipe so you all can make a special holiday dessert for your loved ones.

 

Ingredients:

1 Fresh sweet pie pumpkin

1 can sweet condensed milk

1 egg

1 ¼ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp ginger

¼ tsp cloves

1 cup hot water

Prepare the pumpkin mix. See directions below.

**Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees**

Add mashed pumpkin with all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.

Beat and mix together 1 1/3 cup smooth pumpkin, 1 1/3 cup sweet condensed milk, 1 egg

1 ¼ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp cloves, 1 cup hot water

Pour mixture into 9” pie shell. Bake @ 375 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes. Once you pull the pie out of the oven the center will still slightly move. Let the pie cool for at least 30min. add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to top of each serving and enjoy your pie.

**Mashed pumpkin will hold for 5 days in refrigerator**

 

Another "pumpkin" treat we made are pumpkin pie vodka shots.

 

Mix together rapidly 1 tbsp. pumpkin puree, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 oz vodka

top with whip cream & cinnamon.
