Thanksgiving: A Note of Thanks and a Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Originally shared for Thanksgiving 2024, this note is a thank-you to our homeowners, team, and building partners.

Thank you to the people who chose an Alta home and to everyone whose work helped bring those homes together. We appreciate the care that goes into each stage, from planning and construction to the questions that come after a move.

However you spend the holiday, we hope there is time for a good meal and the people you want around the table.

Pumpkin pie from the original post

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Whisk the pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, spices, and salt until combined.
3. Pour the filling into the unbaked crust.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking for about 35–40 minutes, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Check the crust as it bakes and follow its package directions if additional shielding is needed.
5. Cool on a rack, then refrigerate promptly. Do not leave an egg-and-dairy pie at room temperature for more than two hours.

The FDA’s pumpkin pie food-safety guidance explains safe handling of raw eggs and dough and refrigeration. Do not taste the uncooked filling.

Serve chilled or according to your preference, with any topping kept and handled as its label directs.

Thank you for being part of Alta Homes.
