What kind of pies and deserts do you have for Turkey Day? Home made or frozen or store bought?
Me - Homemade pecan and pumpkin. Completely from scratch, even roast the pumpkin. Must have real whipped cream to go along with it too. We are going to my MIL/FIL for the holiday and they are only having apple and cherry pie. I just couldn't bear the thought of no pumpkin or pecan so I'm bring those along with me.

6 pumpkin pies, 2 vinegar pies and a chocolate chiffon pie sm
So now that I have caught your attention...just what is a vinegar pie, you ask.
In the south, they are referred to as transparent pie. You will sometimes hear it called sweet and sour pie. It is good real cider vinegar, the kind with the mother at the bottom, brown sugar, white sugar, butter and eggs, a bit of flour. It is like water when you put in the shell. You bake it for an hour and it comes out about like the goo in a pecan pie with no nuts. It is not sour a bit, nor is it sickly sweet. It is sweet with a bit of an apple bite. The kids love it and when younger son is home for the holidays, he will devour one of them at a sitting. He literally comes in and sees the vinegar pie, takes one and says: So...what is everyone else having? The other son won't eat pumpkin or vinegar, so he has the chocolate chiffon. The rest of us are pumpkin eaters.
All about deserts
I know deserts are usually over done at pot lucks but I love them! I also like to bake and it gives me a reason to do so. I also like to make pasta salad for summer events or twice baked mashed potatoes with roasted garlic, bacon, cheese, etc.
Valentine deserts
Hi!
I too love to cook and bake!
I know this sounds plain and simple, but with 100 people, you can save some headaches, and emphasize on decorating cupcakes. Cupcakes are so in right now. Maybe you can make some chocolate, some white, or other flavor, and decorate with a nice icing, and some decorations.
Another easy way to go for a large crowd is fill chocolate cups with a strawberry mousse and a strawberry on top, fresh blueberries, etc. You can get these things at Smart N Final. Valentine cookies are always popular too. Make sugar cookies in the shape of various size hearts, and then have some friends over to decorate them, and put each in a clear plastic bag with a pretty ribbon.
pies
 What a great idea! I'm making both pumpkin and pecan pie tomorrow evening. I love Kaluha (sp.? too lazy to get up and look at the bottle), so will try that. Don't think we have any brandy, but that sounds good too. Will definitely tell my son, who also loves pecan pie. Thanks.
Couple of easy delicious deserts
Go to eaglebrand.com and put in chocolate rasberry cheescake -- easy to make and I get more compliments on this than anything I have evey brought to a party. And I make from scratch all the time but this is so easy and especially men love it. Another one is a apple/spice cake from Betty Crocker web page. Kids love this one. You basically add a can of apples -- though I substitute fresh apples, cook them like you would for a compote instead of the canned -- in the mix and it is so goooooooooooooooood. All of my nephews and nieces ask that I make it when I come to a family gathering. So there are a couple. But I do a lot of search on web pages and on the Food Network and find wonderful recipes. Good luck.
