Good ol' pumpkin pie. Pour the condensed milk, the spices, the sugar, the pumpkin into a bowl and stir well. Beat some eggs, and stir them in. Pour into a pet-ritz pie shell, bake, and you have pie. The recipe is on the back of the Libby pumpkin can, and on allrecipes.com. Buy some Cool Whip, or some whipped cream in a can to top it with.


And, it can be made in advance.

1 1/2 cups boiling water


1 pkg. (8-serving size) Cranberry Flavor Gelatin, or any red flavor gelatin


1 can (16 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce


1 cup cold water

Pour 2 cups of the gelatin mixture into 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to finger and should mound.)
