A recipe I ran across and haven't used in 15 years. Must have been good or I wouldn't have kept it. Not a quick dessert but I am sure those who love pastrys and such will have at it with this. Wanted to share. Enjoy! I do remember I used fresh pumpkin - we do not liked canned but this recipe calls for canned.
