    Ingredients

    • 1 can pumpkin puree

    • 3/4 cup brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 2/3 cup heavy cream

    • 2 tablespoons bourbon

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 pie shell unbaked

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the desired temperature for baking the pie.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
    • Whisk the mixture until all dry ingredients are well incorporated into the pumpkin puree without any lumps remaining.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, bourbon, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
    • Gradually add the cream mixture to the pumpkin puree mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and homogeneous.
    • Pour the complete filling into the prepared, unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a level surface.
    • Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set.
    • Check the pie by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean from the center of the pie.
    • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to set completely.
    • Refrigerate any leftover pie and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    KFC Just Announced a Supergirl Collab — Including Three New Sauces and a Collectible Bucket

    When ordering from a combo meal, the sides you choose make a significant difference in the overall nutritional profile of your meal. KFC’s green beans and corn on the cob are among the lower-calorie, lower-sodium side options and are worth considering alongside the tenders or nuggets. Choosing the Combo Meal over the Ultimate Meal also saves a side and skips the boba drink — a meaningful calorie reduction if you’re watching your intake. The new character-inspired sauces are a fun way to add flavor without dramatically changing the calorie count, since a single dipping sauce portion is typically 40–80 calories.

    The Dinner Table Conversations We Stopped Having

    Research consistently links regular family meals to a wide range of positive health outcomes in children and adolescents — including lower rates of disordered eating, reduced risk of substance use, better academic performance, and stronger mental health indicators. The mechanism appears to be not primarily nutritional but social — the connection, communication, and sense of belonging that regular shared meals provide. The health benefits of the family dinner table, in other words, are delivered largely through the conversation that happens there, not just the food.
