Pumpkin Pie

Gluten-Free Gourmet
Holiday Treat
We couldn’t forget those wonderful Thanksgiving pies at this time of year! Here is an outstanding pumpkin pie using the same easy crust. To fill a regular-size pie shell, I suggest doing triple the recipe. For a mini-pie, combine in a bowl and beat well:
3/4 c. cooked, mashed fresh pumpkin, or 1/2 c. canned pumpkin
2 oz. soft cream cheese                   1/4 c. honey
1 t. cinnamon                                                    1 egg
2 t. vanilla                                                   Pinch salt
1/2 t. each ground cloves and nutmeg
Pour into crust and bake at 350° for 20 minutes, til browned and almost set. Cool and enjoy!

Cute! Is the turkey going to eat that one?!

Yum! Is that an organic pumpkin? Nice bright orange.

The turkey looks pretty hungry!:) Actually, this is home-grown pumpkin from our garden, which is pretty much organic. It beats everything from cans. Next best, though, would be organic canned pumpkin.

The turkey looks pretty happy to still be on the table!

What else would you have to do to make your pumpkin organic?

Susanna said...

For one thing, I don't know if my garden has had no chemicals used on it for seven years, as is the organic requirement. The compost I use is not certified either, even though it probably could be; I do use organic fungicide though for the powdery mildew pumpkin plants get.
