Thanksgiving Favorites Recipe Guide
Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients:

  •  One 12-inch pie crust
  •  2 cups fresh pumpkin purée or one 15-ounce can pumpkin purée 
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten 
  • ¼ cup whole milk or heavy cream (or less almond milk) 
  • ½ cup Pure Maple Syrup, or healthy sweetener of your choice 
  • ½ tsp ground allspice 
  • ½ tsp ground clove or 1/2 drop YL Clove Oil 
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon or 2 drops YL Cinnamon Oil 
  • ½ tsp ground ginger or 1/2 drop YL Ginger Oil
  •  ¼ tsp ground nutmeg or 1/2 drop YL Nutmeg Oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt Dash of cardamom or 1/2 drop YL Cardamom Oil

Directions: 
Preheat the oven to 375° F. 
Combine the purée with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until well blended. 
Pour into the prepared pastry and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is nicely-browned and the custard set.
Let cool on a rack before serving. Makes one 8-inch pie. 
Note: You can also make without the crust (grain-free!) and add an extra egg to make it more like a soufflé. Great to serve in individual ramekins. 
Orange infused Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients
 
•2 lbs Fresh Cranberries (four 8oz bags) 
•1 cup Water*
•1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
•Zest of 2 Organic Oranges •6-10 drops YL Orange oil

Directions:

Wash cranberries with Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray in a bowl.  Place water & syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add the cranberries & take the heat down to a simmer.  Cook uncovered very gently without stirring until the berries are translucent, about 5 mins.  You can skim off any foam.  Add the Orange oil & orange zest (as much or as little as you want… you can always add more).  Let cool & serve or store. It will get thicker as it gets cold. 
*Variation: You can use the juice of the 2 oranges (ends up being about a cup) instead of the water. This ups the sugar content so less agave needed.
