Thanksgiving means a lot of things to different people -  To some it is all about the parade or watching football, spending time with family, or showing thanks by giving back to those less fortunate. One tradition that holds true across the board for families is enjoying a feast to be thankful for -  turkey with all of the trimmings, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and for many,  it is all about the desserts.  No matter how much turkey you've eaten, there's always room for at least a sliver of pie.  Autumn is definitely pie season on Long Island.  Many local farms freeze their fruit at the peak of the season to make an appearance on your holiday table.
 
Whatever your desire, there is a fruit pie for you! A simple delicious apple pie, apple crisp, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, peach, cherry-peach, strawberry rhubarb, raspberry, raspberry-peach, raspberry-plum, raspberry cherry, blackberry-apple, strawberry, apple-rhubarb, rhubarb, apricot, boysenberry, pear, cranberry-pear, pumpkin, raspberry, blueberry, and cherry cream-to name a few.  Pecan is also a Thanksgiving favorite with my family.
 
Don't wait until the last minute to order your pre-made pies.  Be sure to check the deadline dates, and then pick-it up the day before or in some cases on Thanksgiving.
