25 Forgotten Thanksgiving Treats Mom Made With a Box of Libby's Pumpkin Mix

25 Forgotten Thanksgiving Treats Mom Made With a Box of Libby's Pumpkin Mix In the autumn of 1968, a can of Libby’s pumpkin sat on nearly every kitchen counter in America the week before Thanksgiving. These are 25 forgotten Thanksgiving pumpkin desserts mom made with one humble can — old pumpkin recipes from the back of the label and the pages of church cookbooks. Pumpkin bread wrapped in foil for the neighbors, pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting, soft pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie squares with pecan streusel, the classic pumpkin roll, pumpkin spice Bundt cake, and the pumpkin dump cake that fed an entire church social from a single pan. If you love forgotten recipes and vintage Thanksgiving desserts, this is the real history of American pumpkin baking from the 1950s through the 1980s. Pumpkin chiffon pie, pumpkin custard cups, homemade pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin pecan pie, pumpkin doughnuts, pumpkin pancakes, frozen pumpkin ice cream pie, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin gingerbread, pumpkin whoopie pies, pumpkin mousse parfaits, pumpkin flan, homemade pumpkin butter, pumpkin turnovers, and the Impossible pumpkin pie that baked its own crust — every pumpkin dessert here came from a mother who turned one can into an entire holiday. And at number one, the pumpkin pie recipe your mom knew by heart — mixed the night before Thanksgiving in a quiet kitchen, cooling by the window while the house slept. This is Thanksgiving nostalgia, American food history, and the old fashioned recipes that made the holiday feel like home.
