Thanx Giving Duck

As much as I love "Thanx Giving", I really have not been able to get excited by the Turkey. I'd much prefer a Duck.

Or almost any other meat.

Cranberry Sauce with Walnuts

Moved to WORDPRESS.

I can't remember where I got the recipe, but basically it's:

• 1lb Fresh Cranberry
• 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Cup Water
• 1/2 Cup Crushed Pineapple
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts (or less - depending on preference)
• Sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon & Clove

Directions:

• Wash the Cranberries and set aside
• Bring the Water and Sugar to a boil
• Add the Cranberries and Clove and keep stirring
• Once the Cranberries pop open, add the crushed pineapple
• Next add the Walnuts and Cinnamon and Blend
• Cool & Serve

The actually recipe also calls for a whole orange to be chopped up (unpeeled) and added - but I skipped that part.

Pumpkin Custard Pie

Ingredients

• 1 Basic Sweet Pie Crust
• 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup Steen's cane syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Whipped cream, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly dust a clean surface with flour.

Roll the pie dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch and, working carefully, fit the rolled dough into a 10-inch deep dish pie plate. Either crimp the edges decoratively or trim the pastry so that it is even with the edge of the pie plate. Decorate the edge with leaf shapes cut from excess pastry dough, if desired. Refrigerate the shell for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight before proceeding.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix until well blended. Pour into the chilled pastry shell. Bake until the custard is set and the crust is lightly golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the pie cool completely before serving.

Serve with whipped cream and dust with cinnamon
