Day Seven: Pumpkin Pie



With my pumpkin supply exhausted and my nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and clove stores depleted, our Great Pumpkin Challenge draws to a close with Pumpkin Pie. This is a simple traditional pumpkin pie recipe and it is just perfect. For the crust I recommend this  Pie Crust Recipe I have tried several crust recipes but this one has the best flavor and the most predictable results. Or if you want to make things easier for yourself you can just go and purchase a Pillsbury pie crust instead. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
