Pumpkin Pie

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!

   Today, we will be making a very special, common Thanksgiving dessert, pumpkin pie! 

Did you know....

That in colonial times, pumpkins were actually used as the crust, they used the pumpkins' hard sides to create the crust, not the filling! But it was still a pumpkin pie. In 1621, the pilgrims started to gather sugar, to use for some meals, or for Thanksgiving dessert.

In 2010, the world record for the largest pie was 3,699 pounds!

  Thanksgiving actually started when the Native Americans and pilgrims, who got trained by the Native Americans, gathered, harvested, and hunted so much food- enough for a three-day-feast-they created Thanksgiving, since they were giving thanks for what they had. But their Thanksgiving was different, they used to have lobster, craw fish, deer meat, turkey, chicken, apples, and other fruits and vegetables. Today we eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

      Since their are so many things to make, we will be focusing on pumpkin pie, a wonderful dessert for a pleasant evening. Here the recipe!!
