When I grew up, we ate lots of food from cans. Maybe that’s why I’ve always had a thing about not using canned puréed pumpkin to make pie. As you can see from my other Pumpkin Pie recipes: https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-pie-2/ and https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-chiffon-pie/, my daughter’s personal favorite, I always roast and purée […]

Classic Cranberry Sauce
Did you know that frozen cranberries make just as good Cranberry Sauce as fresh cranberries off the vine? Well, they do- and it’s so much easier. You don’t even have to defrost the berries! I admit I grew up eating jellied cranberry sauce from the can- and I loved it! […]
Classic Sweet Potato Casserole
I grew up eating a wonderful Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows. Over the years, I added canned fruit. cognac and chopped nuts to the recipe. Somehow, this year, I seem to be turning back more to the old recipes. There was nothing wrong with them. Prep time: 20 minutes after […]
Sweet Blueberry Crumb Cake
This sweet Blueberry Crumb Cake is a delicious coffee cake that can easily be turned into a dessert by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I usually make it non-dairy; but using sweet butter and milk will work beautifully as well. Don’t be confused when you see that the […]
