Perfect Pumpkin Pie Recipe
"Delicious! This is an easy tip and makes a big difference in taste - in a medium pan over low heat, heat up the canned pumpkin puree, spices, and salt. Heating the pumpkin puree up takes out the "canned" taste of the pumpkin and melds the spices together nicely. Then, pour the mixture out into another bowl, and let it cool a bit before adding the condensed milk and eggs. This little change makes the pumpkin taste much fresher! My family loves this recipe, and I use a ready-made graham cracker crust, so easy and so good!" -- JDC

Whipped cream recipe
"So simple and easy to make. Be sure to use a metal bowl. I usually place mine (with the whisk) in the freezer for five or ten minutes before making the cream. Delicious! You'll never buy ready made again!" -- Amy V.
