Pumpkin Pie

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!

Ginger-Curry Carrot Soup

What a surprise this was… our problem was reserving enough carrots from our garden to eat instead of putting it all into this soup for freezing.  This is just a taste delight, and I don’t often say that about really anything.  Curry?  And ginger?!?  Really?  Yet it’s awesome, and can’t deny it.

Pumpkin pie

Basic pumkin pie. Works every time.

  • 1 8″ unbaked pie shell (see Easy Pastry )
  • 1 cup pumkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1 cup milk (condensed, whole, or half and half cream)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  1. Prepare the pie shell in an 8 inch pie pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Blend pumpkin and spices thoroughly.
  3. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
  4. Bake for about an hour – pie is done when a knife instered into the middle comes out clean.
  5. Set aside for filling to cool and set.

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.
