(from The People's Own Book of Recipes and Information for the Million, edited by B. S. Caswell & S. S. Schoff, 1867)

Ingredients:

1 large pumpkin​

1 pint of water​

2 quarts milk​

6 eggs​

1 heaping tbsp. ginger​

1/2 tbsp. cinnamon​

2 coffee cups molasses​

2 coffee cups sugar​

2 tsp. salt​

Instructions:

A chapter on pies with a "pumpkin pie" left out, would be worse than the play of Hamlet with the character of Hamlet left out, so we hasten to give the most approved method of making the regular New England Thanksgiving "pumpkin pie."​

​

Stew a large sized pumpkin in about one pint of water till dry; rub through a colander, add two quarts of milk scalded, 6 eggs, a heaped tablespoon of ginger, half as much cinnamon, 2 coffee cups of molasses, 2 coffee cups sugar, 2 teaspoons salt. Bake in a pretty hot oven, one hour at least.​

This is a New England type of pumpkin pie.

It is pumpkin time. We made pumpkin pie last night. Similar to this one.

Had pumpkin bagel this morning with pumpkin flavored cream cheese. It was delicious.

Just a pumpkin lover. Happy Fall.
