    PUMPKIN-MOLASSES PIE


    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction





    This classic pumpkin-pie recipe, sweetened with both honey and molasses, is actually very simple to make. Canned pumpkin can be substituted for homemade purée. As with the honey-squash pie, it’s a good idea to set the pie plate on top of a parchment-lined baking sheet to catch any spills. This recipe will make more filling than you will need for a nine-inch pie; bake the remaining filling in small tart shells, or in buttered ramekins in a water bath.

    List of Ingredients





    Makes one 9-inch pie

    Pâte Brisée
    1 large pumpkin, approximately 3 pounds
    1/2 cup water
    4 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup molasses
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt

    Recipe



    1. Line a 9- or 10-inch pie dish with the pâte brisée. Transfer to refrigerator to chill; freeze any remaining pastry.

    2. Preheat oven to 375°. Peel, seed, and cube the pumpkin. Place pumpkin in a saucepan, and cover with 1/2 cup water; cover saucepan. Cook slowly over low heat until pumpkin is very tender. Drain well, and puree in blender or food processor, adding a little liquid to thin if necessary.

    3. Combine remaining ingredients, mixing completely, and stir in 3 cups of pureed pumpkin. Mix together, and pour into prepared crust. Bake approximately 1 hour, or until custard is firm and top is a glossy golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
