If everyone made an easy, simple change a day, we could change the world collectively. That is the philosophy behind Tetra Pak products. When you use groceries that come in cartons, you are making an impact for good on the environment. Oh, and FYI: this pumpkin pie recipe that we made using Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree is yummy. 🙂

#CartonSmart Pumpkin Pie Recipe
My pumpkin pie recipe is a variation of what is on the back of the McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice container and the recipe from Pacific Foods. We like our pie spicier so we spiced it up a little. 😉 To make this pumpkin pie, all you will need is…
1 carton Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree {as shown above}
1 can {14 oz} condensed milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 frozen and unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir thoroughly. The pumpkin puree will mix in just like pie from a can! Cook the pie for 1o minutes in the preheated oven and then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and cook for another hour. Let cool for at least one hour before serving.

i wish i had a recipe to share. i am horrible at coming up with recipes on my own which is why i appreciate others sharing their recipes! thank you!
What drew me to this post was the word "easy". I'm not a fancy cook and unless it's easy and calls for every day ingredients that I use and recognize I skip it. So when I saw Easy Pumpkin Pie I had to take a peek. I was glad to see the list of ingredients were short and easy. You see I have never made a pumpkin Pie before and it's something I would like to make this year for Thanksgiving. I like that this company is using cartons to help the environment. I wish more companies would do the same.
Pumpkin pie really is easy. It is so hard to mess up. I definitely do not consider myself a chef and I have messed up my share of dishes in my die, but a pumpkin pie is not one of them. I encourage you to try it. :)
I'm glad to use a product that is packaged in a way that is safe for the environment. But my main concern is the product safe for my family. So I am glad that Tetra Pak products are organic
We have recycled for years. Long before it became the thing to do.
Interesting products! I hadn't thought about jellied cranberry sauce but I think my mom would like to try it. My family loves pumpkin pie...adding the word easy is an extra bonus. :)
Wow and Eco-Friendly too! Thanks for the Post, I will be looking to buy this Product at the Store next time I need Ingredients.
Thanks for the recipe, sounds YUMMY!
This recipe looks almost too easy to be true! I've marked it to try--pumpkin pie is my spouse's favorite. Thanks for the recipe. And I love the idea of cartons instead of cans. I'll keep an eye out for products in this new packaging at the store.
Sounds amazing. I haven't seen this before but I am going to keep my eyes open!
These products sound incredible. I am totally going to need to scope these out at my grocery store. Love pumpkin everything!
Yum. Nothing better than Pumpkin Pie this time of year. So great how environmentally friendly their cartons are.
