Holiday Pies
Holiday Pies
What kinds of pies or other desserts do you make for the holidays? I usually make pumpkin (from a family recipe), and during this last Thanksgiving I also tried a new recipe for a lemon cheesecake sort of filling (from a book "Best of Country Pies").
I've been using frozen pumpkin the last couple pies, and I feel like the texture is mushy. Has anyone else had that experience with frozen pumpkin?
My Aunt usually does Thanksgiving and she'll do Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie. For Christmas it's usually a Flan, Tres Leches or a Cheesecake.
I've made Pumpkin for both before and this year I'm making an Apple Pie with my nieces for Christmas since it's one of their favorites.
I've been wanting some pecan pie! My grandma used to make it using pecans from her tree and as a kid I never appreciated that enough. Now I have to buy my own pecans 😃
Haha that's actually pretty awesome :)
