Put one-half cup of butter into an iron frying
pan over the fire. When it begins to brown, add one quart of strained
pumpkin; let it cook a few moments, stirring all the time; put into a
large bowl or crock; add two quarts of good rich milk, eight eggs,
beaten separately, two large cups of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt,
one of pepper, one of ginger, one of cinnamon, one of cloves, one
grated nutmeg, and one tablespoonful of vanilla. Bake in moderate
oven, with under crust only. Brush the crust with white of egg before
filling. This will make five pies.
PUMPKIN PIES. MRS. E. FAIRFIELD.
One quart of pumpkin, one cup of Orleans molasses, one cup of brown
sugar, one pint of milk, three eggs, one tablespoon each of nutmeg,
ginger, and cinnamon, and one teaspoon of salt. This will make two
large, or three small pies.
LEMON PIE. MRS. P. O. SHARPLESS.
One lemon; grate the yellow rind and squeeze the juice. One scant cup
sugar, two tablespoons of flour (rounded full), the yolks of two eggs,
beat until light; then add one and a half cups of boiling water, in
which has been melted a heaping tablespoonful of butter; lastly, add
three drops of vanilla extract. When baked, cover with the whites of
two eggs, beaten to a stiff froth with four tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Return to the oven until it is a very delicate brown. This makes two
small pies, or one large one.
