8 recipes for pumpkin pie

Nothing quite says "harvest" or "Thanksgiving celebration" than the way "pumpkin pie" does. Uniquely native to North America, pumpkin is likely to have been part of the diet of the early English settlers. Pumpkins became an export to France and England, and in the 17th century was accepted as a pie filler. It wasn't until the 19th century that pumpkin pie in its custard form became associated with the Thanksgiving feast. Early, less sweet versions of pumpkin pie incorporated molasses. With the arrival of Libby’s canned pumpkin in 1929, came the annual tradition of baking a Thanksgiving pumpkin pie with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Today there are many variations of pumpkin pie to choose from. One of these recipes may become a new favorite!
