What better way to celebrate Halloween than baking a pumpkin pie? With the snow gently falling outside, the warmth of the oven and the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are more needed than ever. (This is not a joke.)
I found a good overview here:

I liked that the offer several options for the crust and the filling. I can decide at the last minute if I want to go for the real pumpkin filling or slack off and use the can.

What pumpkin-themed goodies are you cooking up?
So. I was to make the cranberry relish and sauces this year for Thanksgiving and the pumpkin pie and I was going to make the tried and true Joy of Cooking pie. But my fav cooking site Food52 posted an amazing version wherein you dump the pumpkin into a hot pot and caramelize it before baking. It was amazing.
The non-pumpkin pie fanatics were converted and the fanatics were in hog heaven. I will post it in my Kitchen when I can!
I also have a pumkin ginger molasses bread on deck as well. My sister-in-law is coming into town this weekend so maybe my on and I will make a loaf for snacks!
