Members Were Sparked

A can of canned puree pumpkin contains more than 7 times the daily value of vitamin A and has 7 grams of fiber. When making pumpkin pie use Pumpkin Puree as it is 100% pumpkin while pie filling or mix is pumpkin PLUS sugar. Dont forget to make your pie shell as thin as possible. Have a small slice AND FREEZE THE REST.
