Pumpkin Pie in a Jar

Last night was "Flamingo Ladies Book Club" night and the book was Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Not sure what the book was about 'cuz I didn't have a chance to read it! In our club, that's okay...we just socialize anyway. I think maybe we mentioned the name of the book and that was all that was said about it, but we had a very nice time...just a wee bit of gossiping and keeping up with what's going on in the neighborhood! I carried Pumpkin Pie in a Jar for the ladies...
If you haven't tried these, they are easy to prepare, delicious, and everyone loves the presentation. I used the Ball wide-mouth, half-pint jars. Then, I used pre-made pie crust to line the inside of the jars.
I then poured in the pumpkin pie mix {I used the recipe from the back of the the Libby canned pumpkin}.

I cut out round cardstock for the labels and added a pumpkin tag with a ribbon.
Not being sure what types of food would be served, I made little pouches for the serveware and attached more tags!

Rainy Night in Florida...Limeade Floater by Lilly Pulitzer

It was "Bring your own" so I carried my Merlot in my Redneck Wine Goblet!
Thank you for visiting with me today. Yesterday, I used my LAST CAN OF PUMPKIN. Today, I'm on the hunt for more!

Fabulous Pumpking Pies! I was just thinking it was time to make Pumpkin bread. Love your goblet, too!

Cecilia said...

This may sound dumb..but did you bake the pumpkin in a jar first, or just print instructions for ladies to do it later?

Miss Janice said...

Y'all, I prepared the pumpkin mix, poured it into the jars, then baked the pies in the oven:)

Cecilia said...

Thanks, Janice . I google the pies and you can freeze hem and bake later too. Don't know if i could wait!
I have just acquired a Lily Bermuda bag!! Now I am hunting out more covers!
great blog.

also meant to add: I made your pumpkin butter recipe last Thanksgiving for my family as a "Take Home" treat and everyone loved it ~ will be making more soon.
