Pumpkin Chiffon Pies

Many, many people have asked me for my Pumpkin Chiffon Pie Recipe.  It is only mine because I stole it from Housewife Eclectic.  So, here it is:

Ingredients:
1 pkg unflavored gelatin
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 C. milk
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 C. canned pumpkin


Also:
2 egg whites
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. whipping cream, whipped.
1 pre-baked pie crust.

Combine the 1st set of ingredients in a sauce pan, mixing the dry ingredients 1st before combining them with the egg yolks, milk, and pumpkin.  Cook over medium heat until the gelatin dissolves and it comes to a boil.  Remove from heat and set aside to chill.  I put it in the fridge because I am impatient.

Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy and have soft peaks. Then, add the sugar until the peaks are stiff.  Fold into the chilled pumpkin mixture and then add the whipped cream.  Mix well and pour into pie crust.  Chill and serve with whipped cream on top because let's face it, you can never have too much whipped cream, right?  I will be doubling this and freezing it until Christmas.  You will love this pumpkin pie.  I do and I don't like pumpkin pie. 

Christmas Confessional

Mamarazzi is taking some time off but since I was confessing before I found her, I will continue confessing.  I can't wait until she is back but I wish her a Merry Christmas.  For the time being, hook up with Housewife Eclectic for your confessions.

I confess that I LOVE decorations.  Not an ordinary love but an obsessive love.  Our tree, lamp post, columns, and fence are lit.  Our tree is amazing and each set of children have one.  We leave them up until the 2nd week of January.

I confess that I watch sappy Hallmark movies.  Yes, I do.  My name is Sarita and I like sappy, make you cry movies!

I confess that Christmas commercials make me cry.  I mean have you seen the Maxwell House one where the guy comes home from college and makes the parents cry?  That is a tissue moment!

I confess that helping give out gifts to local people who have little or nothing makes me feel so good inside.  For our last day of school, we gave out gifts with The Storehouse.  My 9 YO came to me and said that she loved seeing the people with smiles on their faces.  She said that 1 lady was so happy that she hugged her.  "Can we do it again next year, Mommy?"  WE CAN!

I confess that we are more like the Griswolds than we care to admit.  Each year we have more lights.  My family is crazy.  It is my favorite movie and I can't wait to watch it with the hubs!

Next week will have more confessions!  Can't wait!
