BAKED PUMPKIN OR SQUASH FOR PIES.
Cut up in several pieces, do not pare it; place them on baking-tins and set them
in the oven; bake slowly until soft, then take them out, scrape all the pumpkin
from the shell, rub it through a colander. It will be fine and light and free
from lumps.
PUMPKIN PIE. No. I.
For three pies: One quart of milk, three cupfuls of boiled and strained pumpkin,
one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of molasses, the yolks and
whites of four eggs beaten separately, a little salt, one tablespoonful each of
ginger and cinnamon. Beat all together and bake with an under crust.
Boston marrow or Hubbard squash may be substituted for pumpkin, and are much
preferred by many, as possessing a less strong flavor.
PUMPKIN PIE. No. 2.
One quart of stewed pumpkin, pressed through a sieve; nine eggs, whites and
yolks beaten separately; two scant quarts of milk, one teaspoonful of mace, one
teaspoonful of cinnamon, and the same of nutmeg; one and one-half cupfuls of
white sugar, or very light brown. Beat all well together, and bake in crust
without cover.
A tablespoonful of brandy is a great improvement to pumpkin or squash pies.
PUMPKIN PIE, WITHOUT EGGS.
One quart of properly stewed pumpkin, pressed through a colander; to this add
enough good, rich milk, sufficient to moisten it enough to fill two good-sized
earthen pie-plates, a teaspoonful of salt, half a cupful of molasses, or brown
sugar, a tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, or nutmeg. Bake
in a moderately slow oven three-quarters of an hour.
SQUASH PIE.
One pint of boiled dry squash, one cupful of brown sugar, three eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of molasses, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one
tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and one
pint of milk. This makes two pies, or one large deep one.
SWEET POTATO PIE.
One pound of steamed sweet potatoes finely mashed, two cups sugar, one cup
cream, one-half cup butter, three well-beaten eggs, flavor with lemon or nutmeg
and bake ina pastry shell. Fine.
