AUTUMN HARVEST PUMPKIN PIE



Autumn Harvest Pumpkin Pie image

This is a very easy, very good pumpkin pie recipe (I'm not much of a baker and even I can handle this one!) It originally came to our family by way of a series of cookbooks published in the 1960's by high school home economics teachers: Mrs. Patsy Sachse Edmunds of Crete-Monee HS in Crete, Illinois gets the original credit for this.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth pumpkin puree, remove the pumpkin seeds and pulp, and then roast the pumpkin pieces in the oven until tender. Once roasted, scoop out the pumpkin flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • For a flaky pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help to keep the crust flaky.
  • When rolling out the pie dough, be sure to keep it cold. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
  • To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also pre-bake the pie crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.
  • To make sure the pumpkin pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pumpkin pie cool completely before serving. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make a pumpkin pie that is both delicious and beautiful. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pumpkin pie a try.
