| I am feeling adventurous, so I have decided to try making a homemade pie for the first time. Since it's Thanksgiving, I thought I'd try pumpkin. Do any of you have a good recipe? |

| I have been cooking for a long time anhere are my suggestions. Buy the READY CRUST by Pilsbury. Do not substitute. They are in the refrigerator section. They come in a box and you put them in your own pie plate. I think I used to use Delmonte pie filling. The recipe is on the label. Libby's has the spices already in it and it is not as good. Don't tell anyone that you used the READY CRUST and they will never know!! I fooled my husband for years then he saw the box in the refrigerator. Bummer.
Serve with a squirt of Redi Whip on top.

| I make my own crust that uses vodka very easy crust to handle and way good ! I have two that we use but this one is the easiest to handle and you can always have a drink while you bake. I don't have my recipe handy but I cook the pie filling on the stove top for a short time and I use heavy whipping cream in it. It is the best pumpkin pie everyone raves about it. I found it on line a few years ago. I guess I better find it since it is about that time. Oh and if you go to pioneer woman she has a recipe for a whiskey sauce that is so good on pies .

Its called Pat a Pan crust,

If youre making homemade pie you must have homemade whipped topping, youll never go back to coolwhip again.

Libby's pumpkin pie recipe is pretty good, you can google and see what pies have the best reviews, I love baking but if you buy from a store, hands down BEST pumpkin pie and its huge and $6?! Costco. YUMMY. |
