Jan Allison Poet Etheree

Notes About The Poem

Pumpkin Pie Etheree - October Contest

Mum’s
Baking
Pumpkin pie.
Light crisp pastry
Silky smooth topping
Adorned with pastry leaves
Topped with swirls of white whipped cream.
I start drooling; it’s so tempting
Our spoons are poised ready to tuck in  
Oh how I adore autumn harvest time!

For love of October Contest

Sandra Haight October 2, 2015 at 11:54 AM Such a nice approach to this contest, Jan. Pumpkin pie is my favorite, and you words stirred my appetite! Nicely done, and congrats on your win. Hugs, Sandra Jan Allison October 2, 2015 at 12:01 PM I'd love to try it one day Sandra it looks so tempting from the images I saw:-) hugs jan xx

James Inman October 1, 2015 at 12:34 PM OK Jan, its time you try it. Make one but use a graham cracker crust. Use canned pumpkin (if you have access to Libby's brand it has a good recipe on the can). I prefer pumpkin pie, but where I live, you can use the same basic recipe to make sweet potato pie. Don't forget lots of whipped cream. I have such a craving now. Great poem! Jan Allison October 2, 2015 at 12:01 PM We don't have graham crackers here James I guess they are like our digestive biscuits - mmm I sure fancy some dessert now:-( hugs jan xxx

Andrea Dietrich October 1, 2015 at 2:15 AM A fine description of that pie, Jan. I did not realize pumpkin pie was even eaten in your country!! Your mom really made it for you? BIG congrats in my contest. Jan Allison October 2, 2015 at 11:59 AM I don't think it is a dish we have in the UK it's not something I have ever tried I was just inspired by the image of the pumpkin field you posted lol:-) hugs jan xx
