Perfect Pumpkin Pie

The one pie I need to know is my man’s favorite.

Pumpkin Pie

This particular recipe was an adapted one from somewhere that I adapted again.  It is spicy and sweet with a perfectly smooth texture.  The blender trick does the job for this autumn treat.  In our case the Thanksgiving table.

Though I will be remaking this probably a dozen times between now and New Year’s Day.
