SIPS OF WINE FROM THE WRITER’S GRAPEVINE FALL EDITION – PUMPKIN PECAN PIE – RECIPE BY POLLY FLETCHER

Soon The Writer’s Grapevine Holiday Extravaganza Magazine will be out.

In the meantime, I’d like to share a recipe which has been a famous favorite on our family holiday tables for years.

When my daughter Polly who contributes to The Writer’s Grapevine Magazine from time to time, was in high-school, she discovered a cooking class.

This caused us to try various recipes as the school year rolled along but when Polly made this Pumpkin pecan pie we were hooked.

She’s informed me that said pies have been made and are awaiting the devouring to come and with six kids, along with mom and dad, the words which come to mind here are, chomp, and gone.

Though I won’t be at their table this year, and it’s not likely to be quite the same, I plan to try my hand at this delicious recipe soon.

Let’s head on over to Polly’s Pantry for all the delectable details.
