PUMPKIN PIE like never before!






























I always thought that I really liked our same old pumpkin pie recipe but Cook's Illustrated proved me wrong. They improved upon their already improved upon recipe and made the silkiest, most perfectly spiced pumpkin pie ever. It is like when you come across the perfect consistency of cheese cake but with pumpkin pie. Fortunately for us Smitten Kitchen also tried out this recipe so if you click here you can find it on her blog. Ok so this pie may be a little more involved than your plain old pumpkin pie but it is so much better that you must at least try. You will not go back to your old recipe if you do! The good thing about this recipe is that, though it takes a little bit longer to prepare, nothing about the recipe is hard. You basically sautee your pureed pumpkin with the spices, maple syrup, and here is the kicker some pureed yams, and then you push it through a seive to make it extra smooth and less pulpy. Then you mix in the cream, pour, and bake! This is a must recipe and is now going to be my turkey day family tradition.
