Baking
Every cookbook needs a simple pumpkin pie recipe, so here it is. This one came straight out of The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking. which I inherited from my Mother. Published in 1985 and 800 pages thick, it weighs about 6 pounds! Though I’ll never throw it away, a tablet is a little lighter.
The picture above is what I get when I’m not even trying. Deeeeeelicious!

I’ve been making this for about 40 years now, mailing it out, and calling it my “yearly lump”. I started adding cherries a few decades ago… no complaints.
It is the only “fruit cake” that I really like, living half way between fruit cake and Stollen – the heavy bread we would slather with butter Christmas morning for breakfast.

This is by far the most successful recipe for pie crust I have ever encountered. I get comments on it all the time, as if I’m some sort of guru… I just followed the recipe.

Basic pumkin pie. Works every time.
After about 1/2 hour, the pie is set and still warm. I feel this is the perfect time to cut into it and chow down. Some whipped cream on top, or ice cream on the side, make a nice addition. Cover leftovers with tin foil. Refrigerate if you feel it’s necessary, but chances are slim it will survive a full day after baking.
I’ll add a picture once I get the fluting of the shell down a little better.
