50 pound turkey? Check. Bushel of sweet taters? Check. Crispy, crunchy runner beans? Oh, yeah. Half dozen pie pumpkins? Hmmm. Pumpkin Pie? That was soooo last year.... try baking up one of these goodies instead!
- 1 frozen pie shell
- 2 cups roasted sweet potatoes, peeled and shmooshed
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1.5 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 3/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
- 1 cup toasted pecans (stove top, minute or two, teflon pan)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
2) Toss the top list into a large bowl. Grab your trusty mixer and beat until fluffy.
3) Pour into the pie shell and bake @ 375 (F) for 20 minutes.
4) Mix up the nuts, butter and maple syrup. Pour over the pie. Pop it back in the oven for another 25-30 minutes.
5) Have a slice. Or two. Or, three! Hey, it's the holidays. Enjoy it while ya can.
Here's to a lovely holiday, this proverbial calm before the storm.
Happy Thanksgiving to One & All.

Hi from Johnnny up in Fargo. I enjoyed your Thanksgiving post and recipe. Any pie with booze can't be all bad. At the end of the animated card, the horse is left standing outside. Seems like the horse should get to go into the barn to eat some hay or have a drink. Speaking of drink, I need to make some coffee. Have a nice holiday season.

ReplyDeleteThe pie sounds delicious! My daughter made a pumpkin crunch dessert with pecans this year instead of the traditional pie--minus any alcohol, though:)
