I don’t care for pumpkin pie. I don’t like sweet potatoes either. (I’m a lot of fun at Thanksgiving dinners.) You would think then, that I wouldn’t like this either, and I thought that I wouldn’t myself, but my sister-in-law insisted this was the best thing she’d tasted in a while so I gave it a shot and made some. OMG!
The recipe states that this can be frozen and that it even improves with time in the freezer. I can’t vouch for that statement because even though it makes three loaves, none of them have ever made it as far AS the freezer.
Enjoy!
Note: DO NOT USE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE IN PLACE OF INDIVIDUAL SPICES.
