Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Instructions
Cut the pumpkin in thin slices, peel and cut up; steam until done or boil until tender in as little water as possible. Mash the pumpkin to a pulp and cook dry as possible without scorching; rub through a colander or coarse sieve. To each pint of the sifted pumpkin add 1 quart of milk and 3 well beaten eggs. Sweeten to taste with brown sugar; flavor with 1 teaspoonful each of cinnamon and ginger; nutmeg may be added, and 1 spoonful of salt. If the milk is not rich add a small teaspoonful of butter to this quantity. A little molasses added makes the pies a richer color.
