THE BEST THANKSGIVING PIE

Good Morning Loves...
oh how I  love searching for recipes..
I have had this passion since I was very young...
pouring over the pages of Mother's recipe books...
looking through the handwritten journals of 
both my grandmother's...
and now, with all our social media,
we have a wealth of recipes at our fingertips....
and I came across this vintage pie recipe
that really intrigued me....
\

The newspaper article said this was THE
favorite Thanksgiving Pie of
the Walton's actor, Will Geer, who
played Grandpa Walton.
My Grandmother Grace and I never missed
an episode of The Walton's...such
warm memories that I keep inside my heart....

So, if he deemed this THE BEST pie he ever had,
so much so, he asked for the recipe,
I knew I had to make it.....



I would say it is a mix of tastes between a
Pecan Pie and a Pumpkin Pie....


We did a taste test in the family...
it received five stars....
I think Grandpa Walton was right....
so I am sharing this vintage recipe with y'all....



This will be the star of the dessert table during Thanksgiving...
only then, shall we pass the whipped cream.....



I plan on making the most of every November day..

  1. This recipe looks great, Betsy!! We loved the Waltons at our house, too. Watched it for many years. Hal and I were able to tour the Earl Hamner, Jr., homeplace in Virginia some years ago, and I loved it. I wish we still had shows like that on TV. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Have a great day!!

  2. Everytime I see this recipe or a similar one, my teeth hurt...Grins. Lovely November artwork. I do know what you mean about old recipe's. I have an 1803 cookbook, as well as great-great-grandmother's recipe's scribbled in pencil on translucent paper that are impossible to decipher from Danish. Oh, but the goodness locked in something that has been saved for 5 generations, though. Sandi
