[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

Sweet potato/Pumpkin pie

1 cup pumpkin

1 cup sweet potato

4 ounces cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 egg whites

1 cup half-half

1/2 stick of butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick pumpkin spice

2 graham cracker crust

Clean out a small pumpkin and cut it into 4 pieces. Wrap pieces along with your sweet potato and place them on the grill on indirect heat for an hour or until they are soft to the touch or cook them in the oven on 425 degrees. Remove any of the outside skin and place a cup of each into a large mixing bowl along with the cream cheese. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until pureed. Add egg whites, half-and-half and butter and blend until combined. Add sugar, seasonings and vanilla and blend until mixture is a smooth puree. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until the middle of the pie rises. Let cool to room temperature and serve with a little cool whip and cinnamon sugar on top. This will make two pies.
