Here is the perfect pumpkin pie recipe to top off your Thanksgiving dinner.
Once Mom started making this, regular pumpkin pie just would not do. Everyone in the family wanted this for holiday meals. It is light, fluffy and the perfect choice for dessert after a heavy Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I think this came from her Fanny Farmer cookbook, but not sure.
I would publish a picture, but it disappears before a picture can be taken. 😉

This recipe is standard dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas and comes from one of Mom’s old, beat up cookbooks. It is very light and perfect for after a heavy meal.
