As promised. I posted this recipe a cpl of years ago but there's a lot of new peeps here now.
PUMPKIN PIE
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar.
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
(or 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of Cinnamon, Ginger, and Cloves)
3 Eggs
3 Cups Pumpkin *
1 1/2 cans Evaporated Milk
Mist 2 thawed frozen pie crusts with water and sprinkle with Salt. Bake as per directions on pkg. This is important otherwise the crust will taste raw.
Beat the Eggs lightly and mix in remaining ingredients. Pour equal amounts of filling into 2 DEEP DISH pie crusts. Bake in 425 deg. oven for 15 minutes; reduce temperature to 350 and continue baking 45 minutes or until filling is "set". If after about 30 minutes the crust is getting too dark and the filling looks "loose" lower the temp to 300 and bake an extra 15 minutes.
* While it's perfectly ok to use canned pumpkin I seize the opportunity to scrounge up some unwanted pumpkins around Thanksgiving and make a large batch of pumpkin which I freeze for making pies. You can't imagine the difference in taste. There are several ways to prepare pumpkin for pies. The 2 most common ways is to boil it or bake it. For baking, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds & the slimy stuff, place it upside down on a cookie sheet and bake it at around 300 deg til it gets kinda soft and caves in a little. Scoop out the pumpkin and discard the shell. For boiling, cut the pumpkin into baseball size pieces peel like a potato and boil like you were making mashed potatoes.

ooby_dooby: It's that time of year again and people will be doing a lot of cooking for Thanksgiving. What people make varies by geography and culture. For instance in the Northeast part of the US, Cranbury relish is a thanksgiving staple but it is shunned in the South. Most people will bake a Turkey but many people opt for a Ham instead. A typical menu form my family consists of:
Turkey
Mashed Rutabagas (big yellow Turnip)
Mashed Potatoes
Creamed Onions
String Bean Cassarole
Peas & Carrots
Cranbury Relish (home made of course recipe to follow)
Cider preferably raw as in not bottled
Pumpkin pie (recipe to follow)

langleygirl: That sounds soooooo yummy. Is it a top secret recipe or can you share?
It came out of a Betty Crocker cake mix
You need a Betty Crocker Decandent Surpreme Chocolate Mix which includes the Mousse mix packet.
Then you need 1-1/2 cups water,1/3 cup soft butter and 3 eggs.
With a beater you beat cake mix,softened butter,water and the 3 eggs in a large bowl.Best on low 30 seconds,then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
You can use 2 8" round pans,29"round pans or 13x9 pan.
Grease bottom and sides of either of the size pan listed.
For the Mousse toppping You will need the Mousse packet included in the cake mix,1-1/4 cups milk.
Beat Mousse mix and milk in medium bowl on low for 30 seconds,then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Once your cake layers have cool completely place one of the layers on plate top side down.Spread 1 cup mousse to edge.Place other layer,top side up,on mousse layer.Frost top with remaining mousse.
When frosted cover and refrigerate until serving.Be sure to refrigerate leftovers.

Are you trying to lure me to Langley?
I haven't done much baking, so I'll watch you instead, and of course I'll do the dishes, and eat.

For my cornbread stuffing:
I make 2 pans of homemade cornmeal, following recipe on the back of the container and I use one yellow and one white.
Cut into squares and leave those sit out for about 2-3 days until good and crunchy. Once dried, put into a big metal baking pan.
the day of Thanksgiving, I take some finely diced yellow onion and celery chopped fine and small and sautee in large pan with a bit of butter and soft, then add some sage, salt, pepper and crushed fresh garlic, poultry seasoning (to taste) and dump over the cornbread.
I beat 4 medium eggs w/ chicken, turkey or veggie broth (3-4 cups) and then pour over the dressing and toss well.
I also add some dried cranberries and toss into the oven @350 D, Fahrenheit and bake for 30 minutes.
It's good and everyone in the family seems to love the addition of cranberries that I added a few years ago on a whim.

BTW..I got volunteered to do most of the sides for the dinner so it is going to be deviled eggs, green bean casserole, 7-layer salad, and then the desserts are going to be baklava, pumpkin, pecan and dutch apple crumb pies, all homemade and I'll be using all the recipes of my Grandma that passed away in Feb. so I just hope I can do her justice...but, it's going to be hard because she was the BEST ever! Gosh, I miss her so much right now.

Fruit Salad
whip cream
marshmallows
bananas
grapes
oranges
apples
coconut
And a can fruit cocktail, drained
After this holiday, I like to take the
