you dont know what you are missing. Had a thread here a few days ago and I posted my recipe. i find it best cold with a little whipped cream on the side. The mixture of the spices along with the pumpkin and evaporated milk make a delicious desssert.

Here is my recipe:
aken from the recipe section on our website
Joyce's Traditional Pumpkin Pie
This recipe has been in our family for over fourty years.
It was given to my Mother by a friend of hers who had lived in Canada and was married to a Canadian. The evaporated milk is traditionally used in American pumpkin pie and it makes an extremely delicious and easy to make dessert.
Ingredients:
500g pumpkin, peeled and cooked till tender
2 eggs
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mace
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
375ml can evaporated milk
Method:
Mix pumpkin, eggs, sugar, salt & spices in a food processor, wizz until well combined. Add flour and lastly add milk. Prepare a sweet short pastry ( I cheat and buy a frozen Irvine's pastry from the supermarket! ) into a greased, deep 23 cm pie dish. Bake at 200C for 35-40 minutes. Serve cold with whipped cream.

Hi - what is mace and is it essential?

cookessentials, Apr 9, 4:31am
mace is the outer husk of the nutmeg and you can buy it from most supermarkets - if you have real trouble getting it, leave it out and maybe increase the other spices a little. However, if you CAN get it, it is worthwhile.

Thanks, just realized your recipe calls for food processer. Will have to try without.

you dont have to use a food processor. So long as your pumpkin is soft enough, you can mix well by hand or using an electric beater.

You didn't mention if you cook the pastry shell first. Do you pour the pumpkin mix onto pastry and then cook? It sounds devine and I will try it. Thanks
