Apple and Pumpkin Pie

[kellygrrrrrl]

USE A REAL PUMPKIN! NOT THE CANNED STUFF!

Take Pumpkin, cut in half - A small to medium sized pumkin that sounds solid when hitting it.

Split in half and cover with foil,. bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes. (Until pumpkin easily falls off of shell.)

Remove pumpkin from shell and mash.

1 Cup Sugar

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (I usually add a dash more )

1 tsp Allspice

1 tsp Clove

1 tsp Ginger

1 tsp Nutmeg

1 Cup of mashed Pumkin - I usually add about another 1/4 cup to thicken it

2 eggs

Bake at 475 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 and bake for another 45 minutes

This recipe makes 2 pies!

Excellent and easy, and really really damn good!

I prefer to use a Shortbread crust rather than graham.

Oh yeah, I should add - when you cut the pumpkin remove the seeds and just the stringy stuff....

Soak seeds for 1/2 day - spread on cookie sheet - cover with GARLIC salt and bake at 375 until crispy golden brown!

Oh! Steven! Thought I should let you know. There was indeed some Bean Pie at the Thanksgiving I attended. Thought you might like to hear that. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for a recipe. It was surprisingly good.
