Thanks Sewer Rat. Pumpkins ready to harvest now as I don't think they are growing much since the weather is cooler.

Hi Jjordie
At long last, here it is, straight from the Texan's mouth (well, via her E mail anyway!)
Pumpkin Pie;

Ingredients

Shortcrust pastry
425g Pumpkin
150g soft brown sugar
3 x 2.5 ml spoons cinammon (ground)
1 x 2.5 ml spoon ginger (ground)
1 x 2.5 ml spoon nutmeg (grated)
1 x 2.5 ml spoon salt
3 large eggs
250ml full fat milk
125 ml evaporated milk

Step 1 ; Pumpkin preparation
Cut pumpkin in half and spoon outseeds and strings.Cut remaining pumpkin into small pieces and use veg peeler to remove rind. Then steam these in pressure cooker for about 20 mins before draining and mashing. What you don't need can be frozen.

Step 2 ; The Pie

Roll out pastry and line a 25 cm pie plate and chill in the fridge.
Mix the pumpkin with the sugar, cinammon, ginger, nutmeg, salt.
In a seperate bowl, beat the eggs, add the milks and mix well.
Mix this with the pumpkin mixture and pour into the pastry case.
Bake in hot oven (180*c, Gas Mk 5)for about 40 minutes - or until a knife inserted in middle
of pie comes out clean.

Serve cold with loads of cream

Hope this works for you, and if you enjoy it half as much as I do, you'll be making it every week ! :D

Let me know how you get on

Rat
