Pumpkin Pie

[MarcD]

My son has the original first edition of JOC book that his father left when he died. I and I don't know of anyone here that doesn't love JOC.

Most of the recipes are fine in JoC but I don't have an updated edition. No way I'm going to cook a pork roast to 185 F...... I still remember the days of trichinosis.

My kids use the recipe for pumpkin pie that is on the Libby's label......I use the one in JoC and have been using it since the day I got the book.

Now you do I don't even have a copy.

Oh my! A first for me.

Due to down sizing, I am down to just one cookbook. A very old Good Housekeeping cookbook. Once I realized I could look up any recipe on line, it made down sizing much easier. But I hated to give up my copy of Baking With Julia that she signed for me on the street.

Cross your fingers for me...

Off topic again, sorry, but...
I have a copy of the 1962 edition of Joy Of Cooking
A neighbor gave it to me, she knew I loved to work in the kitchen.

Definitely crossed. Lovely looking crust! Please report once it's cooked - I am considering the same pie and am not baking until tomorrow....

Looks delicious. Nice job on the crust.

I'm also considering this with a pecan short cookie crumb crust - any thoughts about this recipe?

Beautiful job on the crust. And the filling looks perfect. That crust is better than I can do. I take the easy way out with a fork. I have one of those deep pie plates with no rim to make that kind of edge. I hate it. I also have a regular Pyrex one with an edge. Of course my kids always want a deep dish pie. The dish with no edge.

My daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Had no idea. I just started my list. A regular Pyrex pie plate with a lip. Second on the list. A serrated veggie peeler. I am so cheap to buy presents for.

DagNabit!

It looked so pretty when I pulled it out
of the hot box, then...
it started to cool and CRACKED!!!
WHAT THE HECK?!
Just like Cheesecakes do... so,
I have a can of Reddi Wip at hand, it'll be fine.
It smells delish!
The WHOLE HOUSE smells lovely
of Apple and Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

You can avoid that crack by cooking a bit less, it should jiggle like jello in the center. If it puffs and domes all the way across it is over done.

BUT, it's still delicious and really doesn't affect the texture like it would a straight up custard pie.

Still looks good, K-girl! Nice job!

Hm, I misplaced my fork...

 

[Cheryl J]

Looks good to me, kgirl! I could go for a slice of that.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Great looking pie, K-Girl! I can almost smell it out to MA. Enjoy.

 

[Addie]

What bakechef said. But it still looks delicious. Don't despair. Whipped cream can fix anything.

Agreed Aunt Bea
I'll let y'all know how it tastes

 

[Steve Kroll]

Not the prettiest pie I've ever made (almond flour crust just doesn't crimp worth a darn), but it's diet friendly!

By the way, for the last few years I've used that "Extra Smooth Pumpkin Pie" recipe that Cooking Goddess linked to above. It's become a favorite. This year I simply made it sugar free.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Steve my Pate Brisee kept getting too soft,
I had to put into the freezer like three times
during assembly.

 

[Addie]

Steve, I like the fork for the edge. I do not have the patience to go all fancy for the edge of the crust.
