My Mother-in-law's Pumpkin Parfait Recipe
Do you love pumpkin? I sure do and this pumpkin parfait recipe from my mother-in-law is one of my favorites.
Just before my husband and I were married, I received a book from my future mother-in-law which contained favorite recipes from both her and my own mother. This is a book I really treasure, especially since both my mother and mother-in-law are now deceased.
On this page, you will find instructions for making pumpkin parfaits as well as links to other pumpkin recipes. Or how about making your own family recipe book?
