You're not sharing the recipe with us, are you. Jaime would share. At
least give us some food porn.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] pumpkin pie questions
I have a special recipe that had its origins from the one on the back of the
Libby's can. It has evolved over the years, and now all my relatives will
only eat the pies I make. We call it "Bill's Enhanced Pumpkin Pie" (TM)
If we're doing a big do with all the rels, I will make 2 pies. This year I'm
making one for tomorrow. I will make 3 or 4 more as the holidays move along.
I had one 15 oz can left over from last year because we buy a mixture of the
29 oz and 15 oz, and sometimes I have one or two left over. This year, the
store I went to had zero cans of any size. Good thing I had a spare.
I don't think it will ever go bad; at least not for a decade or so.
Where I grew up in Illinois was just a couple miles from the plant where
Libby's packed all the pumpkin. At least for the midwest (Morton Illinois).
Almost every year the elementary classes I was in would do a field trip to
the Libby's pumpkin plant, and we would all get a big can to take home with
us.
The wife & I scored a 7 lb turkey for just the two of us. Put it in brine
for soaking until tomorrow.

- Why (in the year of smaller Thanksgiving gatherings) can I only find
Libby's pumpkin in 29 oz cans? (I didn't wait until the last minute either)
- Do most people make 2 pies anyway?
- They had store brand pumpkin in 15 oz cans, but who makes the store brand
pumpkin? I thought Libby had a lock on it. Is it Chinese "pumpkin"?
- All the recipes (and pie crusts) call for 9 inch pie pans, why do I have
one 8.5 inch and two 9.5 inch?
- I decided to make one 8.5 and one 9.5, was that the right decision? I had
to kind of short-sheet the 9.5. Sorry, I'm not making pie crust from
scratch.
- How would I make pumpkin pie if they stopped printing the recipe on the
can? (same with green bean casserole and chocolate chip cookies)
- The pumpkin has a best by date of Nov. 2022, should I be stocking up? Can
you make anything other than pie with it?
- I should ignore the expiration dates on the ground ginger and cloves,
right? The cinnamon I use up, but how much ginger and cloves can you use?
