Traditional Pumpkin Pie

Traditional Pumpkin Pie

According to a recent survey Pumpkin Pie wins out when it comes to the Thanksgiving pie favorite.  2^nd place goes to Apple Pie and the 3^rd place goes to Pecan Pie.  I have to admit that I like Pumpkin Pie over apple and pecan although I’ve never turned any of them down.  Here is a nice Traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe to get you started on the upcoming Thanksgiving cooking fun.
