♣■♣ Mashed Potatoes ♣■♣
♣■♣ Cranberry Chutney ♣■♣
♣■♣ Gravy ♣■♣

♣■♣ Broccoli & Cauliflower ♣■♣
♣■♣ Stuffing ♣■♣

and of course

♣■♣ Pumpkin Pie ♣■♣

These are 3 homemade pumpkin pies I made for our Thanksgiving dessert . 

Top Right: Classic Pumpkin Pie
This pie had a nice flaky crust and a sweet filling that had a hint of autumn spices. It was the easiest pie in the world to make. Once your pie crust was cooled and ready to go, you just had to mix all the ingredients for the filling together in one bowl and poor the mixture into the crust. Bake, cool and savor. 

Bottom center: Apricot Pumpkin Pie. 
This delicious spin on the traditional dessert was basically the same pie as above but with some apricot preserve spread on the bottom of the crust. This added a light sweetness to the filling. With a dollop of sour cream in the pumpkin mix, it was a perfect combination of sweet and sour.

Top Left: Butterscotch Pumpkin Pie 
What is better than a delectable classic dessert with homemade caramel? A  delectable classic desert with homemade caramel and alcohol. I present to you the Butterscotch Pumpkin Pie! With a caramel based filling and a splash of scotch, this was a pie with a kick. Add some Scotch flavored whipped cream and you're ready to enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!
