  1. This is the first pumpkin pie I made for Thanksgiving years ago…so good – now I bake one from scratch but as we are temporarily in a smaller home I need to adapt to easier recipes that don’t need baking, so I looked up this old classic. Making for Christmas as our usual baked pie was for Thanksgiving and need to simplify this month. Now on to find other goodies here…Thanks!
