1/2 tsp. mixed spices:nutmeg, cinnamon, and mace
1/2 cup shortening(no butter)

Syrup Filling:
1 cup molasses - dark
1 cup hot water - add 1 level tsp. baking soda dissolved in the boiling water
3 eggs
Stir and let cool
Have 2 - 9" inbaked pie shells ready. Pour syrup filling in crusts, dividing portions equally. Sprinkle crumb mixture over syrup, dividing equally between the two shells. Leave a little "arr" in the center of the pies for expansion and to prevent the mixture from boiling over. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350 to 375 degrees.
