Funny all this talk about Pumpkin pies. I decided to make one this year. Marie, I bought empty shells, frozen by Mrs. Smith. I don't bake much anymore and she bakes for me and the crust not bad. Will give it a try. I can't agree Sweet Potato and Pumpkin taste the same, mine don't. I used to make a good pie out of Cushaw Squash and that did taste like pumpkin.

Hi Dot, Oronoque Orchards and Mrs. Smith are both Flower Bakery products. Do you know if there is a difference in taste? They don't carry Oronoque Orchards here but if the taste is different I would ask the manager to special order some. I never been able to make a good pie crust so I stick to the store bought variety. I think making crust is a real talent, which my mother had. I think it skipped my generation and passed down to one of our daughters who makes an excellent crust. She is the one, of course, that won't eat pie crusts! She will eat a top crust to get to the filling but never eats the bottom. :-) Judy mailto:kilkee@attbi.com Dorothy Borne wrote: >Norma, > Have you tried Oronoque Orchards frozen pie crusts?
