What is The Best Pie For Thanksgiving?

[toobfreak]

Cranberry Orange sounds enticing. With ginger and a hint of white pepper.

Check out my recipe above. The White Pepper of course is really just regular pepper with the colored skins removed for a milder flavor!

When I visited England, my hosts requested a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for nine people. When shopping, I was very uncertain about varieties of pumpkin for the pie, and canned pumpkin puree was not to be had, so I went with sweet potatoes. Whipped up double cream as the topping.

After dinner, Dave, who had polished off most of a bottle of wine, planted a boozy wet smacker on my cheek and drawled, "Your po-ta-to pie was GORGEOUS!) Badge of honor!

And there were very few leftovers to send home with guests.

My best Thanksgiving story.

One thing I always wanted to do (but haven't yet) is fill a crystal bowl with skittles & M&Ms...and watch the chaos as my guests grab a handful

Apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream topped with butterscotch topping

Too common (though delicious). Everyone has had it before. Consider my butterscotch pie above. If you like, I can give you my recipe.

TRY THIS:

THANKS A LOT! I think I'll try it out on Thursday.

If you like, I can give you my recipe.

Thunkyou...but pies ain't my thing. I usually create main courses like a chicken parmasian or cordon bleu. Or a homemade pizza...Things like that.

Pumpkin pie is meh.

It usually is, though there are good variants, but I'ver tried to avoid pumpkin here.

Mince meat pie is horrible.

Agreed.

Cherry pie is solid.
Blueberry pie can be great.

Yeah, a good blueberry is nice.

I enjoy Chocolate pie.

There are good chocolate pies. But I tried to avoid them here as too sweet and deserty.

Boston cream pie.
Coconut cream pie.

Both of these are great, but again, common enough that you can often find frozen versions of them in the grocer.
I see a lot of potential for the blueberry if combined with something else, maybe orange, lime or something else?

My big disagreement is with everyone's dislike of mincemeat. My English friend brought me a jar of her homemade mincemeat and it was beyond yummy! She also brought me a jar of her Damsons preserve. As this was post 9/11, I can't imagine how she got these through customs!

I also get nostalgic about my Grandma's Sour Cream Raisin pie. I think it's a New England thing? She was a Vermonter.

Sounds good. For a meal like that, I might suggest a good shoofly pie or maybe a chocolate meringue pie!

Just so long as it isn't any Haitian Cat Pie.

Mincemeat can be great if done right. Same thing with raisin pie. I love cooked raisins, figs and the like.
Curious that no one here has raised any citrus pies (lemon, lime, etc.).
I love a good citrus. You can make a great pie using kiwis.

It looks great...but PLEASE tell me those green things are peppers and NOT pickles.
