My country doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving and at this time of year we would be starting to get into the Christmas spirit, plus it would be almost summer so the thought of the oven going for 3 or more hours would give me the heebee jeebies. However, since I live in the USA and my children go to school here and learn all about Thanksgiving, we do have a feast of sorts. This year for the first time I am cooking a heritage turkey (this is going to be interesting because neither my DH or I like turkey!), making caramel apple pie and having friends over. I hope I haven't run out of cheer by Christmas, though.


johnhenry1 - Mincemeat pie is my favourite too. Rather than make one large pie, I use small muffin tins and make lots of small pies and then enjoy a couple each day with a cup of tea.
