Musings on Fall Baking...

Now that there's a chill in the air, it is time to add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, apples, and pumpkin to your baking.  I made pumpkin pie today.  I usually follow the recipe on the Libby's can, but I had a can of store brand pumpkin and followed the recipe on that can.  Turned out pretty good and I think that all the recipes are about the same.  It's all in the spices.  I always increase the amount by at least one-half the measurement.  We don't like them too spicy, but nothing is worse than a bland, mealy pumpkin pie.  Next time you bake anything with cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, just add a smidge more spice and taste the batter.  If you like it--head to the oven, but if it needs more--add it!
Never feel guilty when eating cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, apples, or pumpkin--even in dessert!  They all possess healthy qualities, so even dessert is good for you.  Not to mention the comfort quality...Enjoy!
