Baked pumpkin > Stewed Pumpkin. We had a pumpkin history taste test on our 2nd channel Frontier Patriot! We made 3 pumpkin pies from different time periods and sat down to review them, including this one. You can find that video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/echkdJxl0JPMops.html Thank you everyone for watching & have a great Thanksgiving!

I'm 69 & I remember my grandmother making pumpkin pie from scratch. Nothing was left for waste. Even the pie shell scraps were rerolled, sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar then baked. She didn't bake them in a fireplace But she did use an old wood burning stove. Aaahh.. can smell your pie cooking thru my phone 🤗❤️

Really makes you appreciate why people didnt waste food back then. Use the scraps for animals, toast the seeds for a snack. Reminder to be more resourceful and less wasteful. ❤

I love this channel. Everyone mentions how soothing the videos are, and they definitely are, but I also find myself imagining this woman doing all this with a three year old climbing on everything, an 18 month old toddling around the fire, and a newborn in her arms. Makes me appreciate the work our ancestors did so incredibly much.

@EarlyAmerican - I am a History teacher for 6-12th grades and I LOVE your channel! I have used some of your cooking videos to show my students how cooking and such would have been 100- 200 years ago what our Founding Fathers and Early Americans would have eaten and enjoyed making. And my students love to watch and even watch on their own time without it being an assignment ! Your videos have also been a big help to me as I struggle with PTSD and night terrors so going to sleep is always a battle but these relax me so well I fall asleep to the sounds of the crackling fire and the AMAZING Justine cutting up vegetables or cracking fresh eggs! You guys are truly an inspiring couple and EXTREMELY HISTORICALLY ACCURATE I must add! (You get an A++++ in Mr. Harpers History class 😉) Thank you for all of your hard work! I also have a small channel here on YT and know the time it takes to film and edit everything so you both deserve applause for that!

It's comforting to watch and learn without all the blah blah blah of most podcasts; a bit like being a kid again with my mom in the kitchen. Thank you and God bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving Day 😘

LOVE the fact that you actually stick to the receipt and dont do the now logical replacements for it - because that's why we are here to watch ....

Hey Justine, the easy way is to weave a lattice on the counter with strips of dough, give it a quick press with your rolling pin to stick them together, and then transfer it right on top of the pie as you did here. People have been doing that for a very, very long time and passing it down through families by word of mouth so it's timeless. Love your content, as an asmrtist, professional cook, and amateur food historian myself.

This is one of the coolest channels on KZfaq. I'm an historical fiction author. Thank you so much for these, because they really help me out with the everyday life scenes in my books. It's one thing to read and research about how my characters would have lived in the 1700s and 1800s, but it's a privilege to get to see it play out. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Making ANY pie from scratch is a labor of love! Just did 9 yesterday! Took better part of the day so I can't imagine the time involved in doing it without modern conveniences.

Doing damn near anything in 1796 was hard. You are a reminder to me of that fact, it's why I watch your vids. Keep up the good work.

I think pumpkin is under rated as a food. It's a pain to prep but you get so much meat from even a small one. You can cook it so many ways too.

For the pumpkin, so you don't have to stress peeling it, you can actually roast the pumpkin. I don't know what the fire or dutch oven version of that is, but when I do it, I cut my pumpkin into quarters then roast it facing down and the peel is really soft afterwards. Plus, then you don't have to go through the process of pressing the water out. For the lattice, you can try weaving the strips of dough before adding it to the top, that might help so you don't have to cut out all the squares like that. I like how the pie turned out though. I like pumpkin pie, but most store bought is too sweet so I only like when I make my own. I don't like pie crust though so I once made it with graham cracker cookie crust since its basically a custard like cheesecake, in my opinion. It actually worked and tasted great!

Cooking videos such as these when there's 0 talking just makes it all the more zen, another great and tasty video🤗🙏🏾.

Watching Justine preparing this pie really makes one appreciate how hard colonial women worked to prepare food.

❤wow. your tenacity is really admirable. thank you for sharing.❤

I love how the chickies are following you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Back in the 60s and 70s there was only the classic pumpkin available at the store. No other varieties. That is what my mom used, no canned stuff. Her pies were the best. Also her crust was amazing. The crust must have flavor.

I love that you don't break the rules of the receipt, otherwise, it wouldn't be the real thing from 1796. I love you guys and enjoy both channels. Can't wait to see which pie wins on your second channel! Happy Thanksgiving you two! 🎃

Hello Early American ; I just happened upon your channel, watched this video and subscribed. Anytime there's a Dutch Oven involved, you have my attention. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, thanks for sharing. Early Pioneer life is so exciting and I believe, under appreciated. I started watching another Early American Channel, Jon Townsend, some years ago and fell in love with this era. Thanks for sharing. Stan in Idaho

I am so thankful for you two, Ron and Justine. Thanks for the hard work you put into your KZfaq channels. I so much enjoy watching and learning from you. You bring so much joy to others. May God bless you both and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

This makes me so thankful for Mrs. Smith’s frozen pumpkin pie! I do love to cook and bake but not all the time. I can’t imagine how hot it must have gotten in these homes during the summer. You’d always have to have a fire no matter how hot it would be.

You’re such an amazing resource for writers!

a serious labor of love! appreciate it

Thank you for the recipe, Justine. You are an expert cutting that pumpkin. It looks very hard to cut. The pumpkin pie looks great.

You cut that pumpkin like a pro in the beginning! Great job, looks yummy.

I also met advice ... Hm, well, in general, pies with a fluid filling are baked in three stages: 1) bottom; 2) stuffing; 3) decor. Therefore, it was necessary to bake the filling until it thickens, does set and browns slightly, then you spread the lattice with pre-formed decor on top (they lie in the cold until use!) and bake again for 10-15 minutes. Then there will be no problems with drowning and dampness of the decor lattice. The lattice must be laid out quickly so that it doesn't melt, and quickly smear it with melange (a mixture of eggs and milk / cream) (or sour cream after finishing of baking), and sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds or sunflower seeds.

that lattice might be one of the most impressive things I have seen in a while.

Its 2022. Whoever celebrates this Holiday. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everybody gets along try to watch what you say. Just try to enjoy your day happy Thanksgiving 2022 " Let us all get along today."

This was so soothing. I swear in a past life I lived in this time.

It’s such a pleasure to watch you make anything because You have such patience and grace.

I loved it! Just made me laugh that she came home with her beautiful pumpkin and she already had a lot at her house! This must ve been a really special one to not let her pass (: 🎃🌝🧡

This is how I still make my pumpkin pies and squash bakes. So much better than store bought stuff! I even taught myself to do it just like Justine’s doing it on open flame. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!🦃🦌🐑🐇🥧

It is very difficult to put any kind of decorative crust on top of an unbaked pumpkin pie and have it not sink to the bottom of the pie during the baking process. Even so, the decorative crust is so pretty! One way around this issue is to go ahead and make your decorative pieces, then bake them separately, and place them on the pie after it has baked. It will still look so beautiful, and no one will be the wiser!

Thank you for making these relaxing videos 🥰 🥧

Enjoyed watching again it's so soothing! Love how your girls, your hens scurry along!

I thoroughly enjoy your videos and learning about the cooking hundreds of years ago. Look forward to all the recipes to come❤

Nice job Justine 👏. That lattice you made looks time consuming but pure genius 👏. You two,, have a great celebration tomorrow.

This seems so relaxing. Imagine, just making sure the home is tidy, occasional trips to the general store, making sure kids are fed & food & pie or some type of dessert is ready for after dinner. Then a clean up, snuggle with the kids, baths & sleep & repeat. I find myself tired of the huddle bussle. I want to live like this. Tiny home, a fire, everything homemade. Ahhh… I need to get ready for work soon. 😢😅

These vids are so soothing,…❤

Great looking pie! Justine, you are so talented! Happy Thanksgiving to you & Ron. God bless you.

Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoyed watching you make the pumpkin pie. Looks delicious

Love this channel so much. Love that there’s no talking

You never cease to amaze, Justine. My hats off to you!

Justine, you had such a clever idea to replace the lattice! The pie looks good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ron 🍁🍁🍁🇺🇸

I love your videos. I tried processing a baking pumpkin six years ago, straining the water from the flesh was a real job, and I had baked it in the oven. Never again unless I'm out in the middle of nowhere without access to canned pumpkin! Happy Thanksgiving!

I love watching you follow old recipes to see where a lot of the recipes we use today have evolved from, even if it’s “I’m glad we found an easier way.” I always learn something and the ASMR quality is soothing in a way that modern cooking shows are not lol. Your whole set up is lovely!

Wow! So much more time and care went into everything back then, even compared to homemade pies today. It really makes me pause to reflect on how much work life was back then but at once so wholesome!

I am making pumpkin pie right now using my Granny’s receipt. It is very similar to this one. Thanks for all you do. Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful pie! Well done Justine! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ron!

This was so soothing to watch. Thank you for what you’re doing - and sharing with the world. Blessings! ♥️♥️♥️

Most people run to the grocery store for canned pumpkin. I’ve been cooking pumpkin pies from scratch for a long, long time.

I absolutely love your videos!

I am so impressed by the amount of work this custard pumpkin pie takes-Justine-you are strong and very dedicated🤩

You put so much work into your vidoes, the attire and the actual steps you use to make your meals. Youbneed your own show, it's relaxing and educational.

I absolutely love your videos! They are so peaceful to watch. I really like the uniqueness of just watching a video where you silently do something the way it used to be done. Somehow that just adds a beautiful depth to it.

I would have lost a few fingers within the first 2 minutes. Love the video!!!

You can roast the seeds they are high in fiber and with the right seasoning are quite tasty, or plant them for next fall and make lots of pies or mini jack-o'-lanterns 🎃. Pie looks yummy 🤤

Wow! Making that was no joke! You have some pastry skills, Justine.

I learned something today with you putting receipt instead of recipie. Man you are good with details!

Well done, Justine! I cannot wait to hear how it tastes.🦃 Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ron! xoxo

I LOVE that there is no talking .... I'm a visual learner so just seeing you do it step by step, with the crackling fire as the only background noise is soo relaxing and comforting.

Wow! That turned out beautifully. 😊

Very classy and well done. I love how you didn't talk just made it whimsical and enjoyable.

Loved this. Homemade pies are the best and really feels like the Holidays. Amazing job on the pie crust Justine. Happy Thanksgiving to you both! 🥧🍁🍂

What an amazing time to be living like this! I really enjoy your channel!

Those chickens following mother hen are too cute.

I really respect and appreciate all you do in recreating our heritage! It is super neat to watch as you make all these wonderful (and demanding,to say the least) recipes. I was wondering if it may be okay to suggest a demonstration of making a…..Vinegar pie?? That one might be interesting to see. Anyway thanks for making these videos- the way in which its produced- feels like we’re all in the room with you just watching and trying to keep out of the way!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Blessings to you and Ron!

Yum! pumpkin pie with real whipped creame is one of my favourites! 🥧

The fact that you, Justine, used a comb to pierce the dough is simple and brilliant. And then many f&ck with forks, or roller knives.😃🤔👍

AHHHH so excited for the new video!! This is so relaxing as usual ❤ It’s hard to pick one but I think it’s my new favorite 😊

I found your channel yesterday,my child was watching your videos with me ,specially the Pirate’s treasure one with the skunk 😂, she really loved it ,tour channel is a gem! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃 🙏

Loved how you made the look of the top dough. I will definitely do that. Beautiful! Thank you. Don’t you dare ever say, you’re not a cook. You’re fantastic ❣️🫶🏼

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

Do you have videos on doing the dishes in historical times? I'm curious about how hard it was to clean dishes back then from a meal this extravagant. Especially with no running hot water I assume?

This definitely gets you in the Thanksgiving spirit! 🦃🥧

I just discovered this channel yesterday and find it very fascinating. Calming as well. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work 😊

It’s extraordinary the historical facts I’ve learned from watching your channel! What hard work it was for our ancestors!

WOW! That is a lot of work! There is also a way to nick a pattern in a crust and then stretch it over a pie. I never fully understood that one. Personally, I wouldn't have the nerve to put a crust on a custard pie although I have seen pumpkin pies dotted with pieces of crust cut into patterns with cookie cutters. No cinnamon? Colonial receipts used a lot of nutmeg but I just realized I don't hear about cinnamon. 807k subscribers! I am so happy for you! You deserve it!

I have never baked any pie in my life I want to try to attempt to one day! Loved this 🎉🎉❤❤

I love that I found this channel! I loved every second of your video. Also, inspired with how you brought that old recipe back to life. Thanks and keep up the great work! ❤

I hope you saved all the pumpkin seeds! You can dry them out and keep them for planting next year! We had a lovely squash plant come up in our compost heap this summer, and we got six squashes from it. They were good and sweet, and we love them. I was watching you prepare the pumpkin, and I thought, "All pumpkins are 'Pie Pumpkins' so you don't have to search for an elusive type of plant!" I love watching you bake things in that big old pot! I just adore pumpkin pie!! Enjoy! ~Janet in Canada P. S. By the way, this is the same recipe that my grandmother used back in 1960s. She got her recipe from her mother, so that was OLD!

That looks absolutely freakin' delicious!!

This was unexpectedly enjoable! 👌 I don't like pumpkins but this effort and similarities in cooking around the world made it fun even for me. Greeting from Czechia ✌️ subscribed 😁

These videos are very humbling and I enjoy watching them a lot

I’m starting to fall asleep to the pumpkin cutting, I normally hate ASMR, but something about, this just makes me feel like I’m listing to my mom or grandma cook,

As soon as you broke out the whole pumpkin and a knife, I was ready to call it quits. Sweet potatoes are much easier to work with, and many people can’t tell the difference. 😅 Also, I think I’d burn myself constantly if I lived during this time. I can barely remember to not touch pan handles when I finish a steak in the oven. 😕 Edit: your latticework is brilliant!

I make my pumpkin pie in the same way (we have modern stoves now) except I also add cinnamon and all spice and grind my pumpkin in the blender after cooking it. I guess my pie doesn't differ from this one that much especially the filling. I don't top it with a lattice pie dough. Still looks yummy. With my pumpkin pie, even those who hate pumpkin will only eat mine.

When I lived in an orphanage ( farm) we go up into the mountains for a few months. This lifestyle in these videos brings back such fond memories. We did things so similarly. Using simple tools and hardly ever any electricity, it was so much like depictions here. "Oh!for that simple life "

My parents had kettle pots growing up my dads family was born early 1917. but what’s crazy to think how fresh food was back then no added preserves straight from the ground. Crazy to think that this generation and ones before us wouldn’t survive today in what we’ve done to the environment.. when they cooked they cooked my cousins house is very natural in this sense. Just so refreshing to see 😊 folks living a simpler life and off the environment

This channel is so special. 🧡🧡 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍽

I love and appreciate the effort in every step you take. And this crust replacement, wow xD

Just came across this video and immediately followed! Really makes you appreciate how hard people worked back then to get a simple meal on the table. Goes to show the respect and time put in to each resource they had. I’ve always wanted to live more simple like this.

This channel is awesome!!! Appreciate you guys!!!

My wife and I grew Pie Pumpkins this summer. We put up about 20 Qts. and froze another 10 qts in freezer bags. My wife took the seeds and dried them in the oven. we will use them in breads and salads this winter! Did they do that in your time period? The seed thing not the preserving thing!

That actually looked amazing when it was finished! 🙂

This is the first time I have seen one of your videos, and honestly, it is very comforting. I love it was people bring the past to the present, it’s quite fun 😊! I had to subscribe ☺️☺️

I'm not a native English speaker, so I had no idea that "stewed" used to be "ftewed" and other words had the letter "f" instead of "s". For some reason that's hilarious to me but there's a similar phenomenon in Spanish (my native language) and I don't know what it's called, but it's also pretty funny. It's so interesting how language changes over time. I would have loved to have a slice of that pie, it looked so good! This video is definitely going to my "insomnia cure" playlist, it is extremely relaxing and comforting. I love making pumpkin pie from scratch, but I use an oven from 1999 lol. I feel so accomplished after making my pie crust from scratch and using a fresh pumpkin from my garden.

I had just made a pumpkin pie myself doing a similar process, delicious but so time consuming. The recipe seems to have stayed about the same throughout the last 200 years. Great video as always.
