Spicy Non-Dairy Pumpkin Pie Filling

• Yeast Free
• Wheat/Gluten Free
• Milk/Casein Free
• Suitable through Stage IV

Your Thanksgiving guests will love this superb dairy free pie. Bake one day in advance and let the flavor settle in. Makes enough filling for one 9-inch pie crust. For a deep dish, 10-inch pie crust, double the recipe. You might end up with a small amount left over, which you can bake in some muffin tins for snacks.

• 3/4 c. unprocessed clover honey
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. mace
• 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger or 1/4 tsp. fresh chopped ginger
• 1/4 tsp. powdered cloves
• 2 eggs
• 2 T. melted butter (optional)
• 1-1/2 c. cooked, pureed pie pumpkin
• 9 inch unbaked pie crust, using your favorite recipe from Extraordinary Foods for the Everyday Kitchen or Feast Without Yeast:4 Stages to Better Health

Preheat the oven to 425F. Prepare the pumpkin according to directions in A Note on Ingredients in Feast Without Yeast:4 Stages to Better Health. Mix all ingredients (except the pastry shell) with an electric mixer. When mixing in the spices, keep in mind that the mace makes the pie very spicy. For milder pies, put in 1/8 tsp. mace. For very spicy pies, put in 1/2 tsp. mace. For pies in between, put in varying amounts to suit your taste. Pour into the pastry shell. To protect edges of shell from burning, cover the edges with aluminum foil tents. Bake 15 minutes at 425F, then reduce heat to 350F and bake another 40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out dry. Cool before eating.

Cranberry Lemon Sauce

• Yeast Free
• Cholesterol Free
• Wheat/Gluten Free
• Milk/Casein Free

Your guests will love this delicious, fresh cranberry sauce. This is tolerated by even the most sensitive people.

• 2 packages fresh cranberries (about 4-6 cups)
• 2 c. unprocessed clover honey, plus more to taste
• 2 fresh lemons

Pour the cranberries and honey in a 3 quart pot on lot heat. Slice the lemons, including peel, very thin. Add lemons to the cranberries and mix. Cover; bring to a slow boil; reduce to simmer.

Cool to room termperature while uncovered, then store in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. Makes about 2-3 cups.
