For those of you who are interested, here is the pumpkin pie recipe that I use. It’s from the Moosewood Cookbook. I start with raw pumpkin.
3 cups pumpkin puree (I generally chop up a pumpkin, scoop out the guts and cut off the crust, then throw it into La Machine until it’s really finely chopped.)
3/4 c honey
2 T molasses
1/4 t powdered cloves (NOTE: I generally do heaping spoonfuls of all the spices, except the salt.)
3 t cinnamon
1 1/2 t ginger
1 t salt
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can evaporated milk (or 2 cups scalded milk)
Mix in order given.
Pour into two pie shells, and bake.
10 minutes at 450, then
40 minutes at 350, or until set. (I generally end up baking it an extra 10-20 minutes for it to set — for me to stick a knife in the center and have it come out clean.)
And that’s it! It really is as easy as, well, pie. *G* Enjoy!
thanks! i’m so going to try it.
You’re welcome! It’s sooooo good.
Me, too! Pumpkin pie is my favorite. Well, this year.
I must admit, while I like pumpkin pie in general, I *love* the one that I make the most.
