According to Montgomery Life, 60 acres of land have been donated to the Natural Lands Trust in memory-of the late Frank D’Lauro of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.   Frank was a member of the Worchester Planning Commision and loved the land.  He planted native trees along the road and left open views so that people who passed by would see the distant hills.  The preserve consists of 36 acres hay fields and open meadows along with 11 acres of woodlands.  In the future The Natural Lands Trust will implement walking trails, hiking trails and sight seeing.

Thanksgiving is almost here and if you love sweet potato pie, but don’t know how to make it, here is a recipe from the Food Network.

Ingredients:

One batch Sweet Dough, for a 1-crust pie

Filling:

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 1/4 cups light cream or half-and-half

Directions:

Prepare and chill the dough.

Bake sweet potatoes for 1 hour at 350 degrees, or until soft. Cool, peel and puree in the food processor.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the lowest level. For the bottom crust, lightly flour the work surface and the dough and roll it to a 12-inch disk. Fold the dough in half and place it in the pan; unfold the dough and press it firmly into the pan. Trim away all but 1/2-inch excess dough at edge of pan. Fold dough under and flute edge.

For the filling, scrape pumpkin into a bowl and whisk in eggs and yolks. Whisk in remaining ingredients in order, whisking smooth between each addition. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Bake the pie for about 1 hour, until the crust is baked through and the filling is set. Cool the pie on a rack.
