COOKE’S NOTE
Triple sec is a type of curacao, which is a generic term for several orange-flavoured liqueurs. Triple sec is clear, colourless and quite sweet.
One of the most famous brand names of triple sec is Cointreau.
Pumpkin
There is a difference between pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling. Both products are sold canned and usually found side by side in the baking aisle of grocery stores. Pure pumpkin is simply pumpkin with no added ingredients. Pumpkin pie filling, however has other ingredients such as sugar, oil, salt and spices added to it. Check the labels carefully as these products are not interchangeable.
