New England Pumpkin Pie


We're well into fall and the best part of autumn is PUMKIN PIE! It's an original New England recipe that dates back to the first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and Native Americans!


Ingredients:


One can of pumkin (located with pie fillers in the supermarket)

Cornstarch--one tablespoon

Cinnomon--half of a tablespoon

Ginger--half of a tablespoon

Nutmeg--half of a tablespoon

Melted butter--one and a half tablespoons

Milk--one and a half cups

Sugar--one cup

Molasses--one eight of a cup

Beaten eggs--two eggs


Recipe:


Using a sifter, sift cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together. A hand sifter or a bowl sifter will be fine either will do. A bowl sifter sits above the bowl and using a spoon you press the contents through it so that they pass into the bowl below. For a hand sifter, all you do is put in the contents and pull a lever located in the handle and it sifts everything together.


Add the can of pumkin to the sifted contents and mix together.


Next, add the milk, beaten eggs, melted butter, and molasses.


Take a pie plate (average size of about 9") and pour the contents of the bowl into the plate. Heat the oven at 450 degrees and bake for at least fifteen minutes. After the fifteen minutes has elapsed reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, now bake for fifty more minutes.


When done, take out and allow it to cool. Finish each slice off with a dollop of whipped cream!
