Autumn Pumpkin Pie Recipe

email

With the Holiday seasons around the corner, you may be already planing what kind of pies you will be baking this year. Bellow are just a few products that will help you to impress your family and friends. Even if you are not a baker, but know some one who is, some of the products bellow would make an amazing gift during this holiday season. I especially like the 9″ round red ceramic pie plate. It is pretty cheap, and if you want to you can give the pie with a plate as a gift. And of course every baker will appreciate a good recipe book. I also have a wonderful pumpkin pie recipe (scroll bellow) for you to try.

Autumn Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I got this recipe a long time ago from a friend of mine. You can make your own pie crust for this recipe or a store-bought crust will do just fine.

For this recipe you will need:

  • 2 egg yolk slightly beaten
  • 3 cups of Pumpkin (you can use canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon (you can put more or less depending how much you like the taste of cinnamon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon of allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of powdered cloves (optional, pie still taste great without it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

Mix ingredients in order given above. Pour it an unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400 °F for 45-50 minutes. You will know that your pie is done when the clean knife will comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the pie. Halfway through the baking time I use the aluminum foil to cover the edges of the pie to prevent them from burning. But a crust shield for pies seems like a very practical tool to have.

Your pie should look and taste just like the pie you see bellow which I made not so long ago:

Pumpkins For Pumpkin Pies. Which One Is Your Favorite?

I love to bake pumpkin pies. While it is easy to pick up the pumpkin pura in the store, it is far more fan to make your pumpkin pies from the scratch. In the past I mostly used cheese pumpkins, because it has very nice taste without overpowering your taste-buds. This year I have decided to experiment a little. And how you could resist not to?!!! Going to a local farm market I was faced with a difficult choice- which pumpkin should I choose:

After looking around, I have decided to pick Cotton Candy, Jarrahdale, Cinderella pumpkins so I can compare them to the pies I usually make from Cheese Pumpkins:

In the upcoming posts I will write about each pie I made. But for now I would like to know which one is your favorite pumpkin?
