22647 Ventura Blvd, Suite 323
Los Angeles, CA 91364
RECIPE for filling
1 Quart (1L) Whole Milk
2 Cups (450g) Pumpkin Puree
4 eggs
½ Cup (190g) Molasses
1 ½ teaspoons allspice
2 teaspoons ginger
Pie Dough
1. Blind bake the pie crust until fully cooked.
2. Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth then add to cooled pie crust. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 75 - 80 minutes or until there is just a slight wobble in the middle of the pie.
3. Turn off oven but leave the pie in to cool with the door slightly ajar (you can use a wooden spoon to prop it open).
4. Let cool completely before slicing. This actually tastes even better the next day!

When my grandmother would 'stew' something, she would generally cook it with very little water until it was cooked down to a mushy pulp. She often made 'stewed apples' which were just apples with almost no water cooked into a slightly chunky applesauce. Maybe that's what she means by stewing the pumpkin.

This recipe is very close to the pumpkin pie my Mom made from the United States Regional Cookbook published 1947. It was her very first cookbook; recieved as a wedding gift from her sister. One thing I realized after I started using this cookbook (I inherited it after my Mom's passing) was the milk used nowadays is much less rich than earlier history. I started to add 1/4 cup cream to the milk to make it more like milk from previous generations.

I’ve made pumpkin pies with both tinned and fresh roasted - there’s DEFINITELY a difference and so worth it. If you’re intimidated to cut a hard pumpkin, I feel you. What helps if you’ve got a stubborn one is to stab a few holes in it with a fork, and microwave it for about a minute at a time. Just a time or two usually softens it just enough to cut through the skin easier 👍

Not just pumpkins, but a lot of veggies are completely different between fresh and canned. Pineapple is a perfect example. A fresh pineapple has a much different flavour profile. Or even spices. Freshly ground pepper is much richer, already done powder is basically just a bit of heat and the slightest hint of flavour.

After roasting, removing skin, and chunking pumpkin, I leave in a flour cloth lined colander over bowl overnight in fridge and you lose a lot of the excess water to have a thicker puree for pie.

A sub I suggest from a decade plus of making this pie. Use evaporated milk, it cuts down a bit on the excess liquid, and adds richness wihtout the fat of cream. Goat's milk works well if you you can get it too... Also while sugar pumpkins work, if you can get Jarrahdale pumpkin, 1. be careful cutting it, very thick/tough skin and 2. is so wonderfully sweet and dark orange (almost red) you will never miss the sugar or the canned gunk. But one pumpkin will make about 8 pies so you'll want to freeze some.

It wasn’t uncommon to need to take an ax in order the chop up a really big pumpkin. Some of the ones that were grown as good keepers had very thick rinds. A lot of people steam the pieces of pumpkin instead of stewing it. Also, what is available in the can is more of a squash. He said that pumpkin doesn’t have a strong taste.

Another historical pumpkin custard option. Buy a pie pumpkin, cut off the top and remove seeds. Rub inside with spices. Bake in 350 oven for half an hour. Remove and fill cavity about 2/3 of the way up with a rich custard base that has been warmed on the stove ( pretty warm but nowhere near boiling) you can season the custard with spices if you like, or just with vanilla. Sweeten it with real maple syrup if possible. Put the pumpkin back in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the custard is almost set, just a jiggle in the center. Remove and allow to cool. To serve scoop out custard and scrape some of the soft pumpkin from the inside with it. Best served while still a bit warm. Lovely with cream.

It’s not just British; lots of languages have similar words for these things. In mandarin Chinese, for example, there is a base word gua (瓜) which means melon or gourd, and different types of that name are watermelon (xigua, 西瓜, west gourd); cucumber (Qing gua, 青瓜, green or blue gourd); pumpkin (nan gua, 南瓜, south gourd); to name a few. If you look at the food product they look really different but if you look at the plant growing, they all look pretty similar, with creeping vines and large leaves.

@@asmodiusjones9563 correct. That's why nobody should be trying to eat suspected nightshades without being sure that they won't poison themselves. The plants, leaves, and flowers, many of which are white, can be confused with every other plant in the family. That's why scientists have put those plants in the same family. I know that very well. I've grown both watermelon and cantaloupes at home. Before the fruit is in a very advanced growth stage, both watermelon and cantaloupe vines are virtually indistinguishable from each other.

My mom grew up in Manitoba in the 40s and 50s and this is basically the exact pumpkin pie method I learned from her, except with the half-cup of brown sugar added, just like Max mentioned. It really is a thousand times better than the canned stuff with all the corn syrup and other stuff that people make today. I could never understand how my American friends could say they didn't like pumpkin pie - until I had what usually passes for pumpkin pie in the US, and now I understand! The custard method is so much silkier and has many layers of flavour that the sugary corn syrup version just doesn't offer. Sometimes I chop a little crystallized ginger up really fine and mix that in, too.

Question for you: the half-cup brown sugar is instead or in addition to the molasses?
@oomflem 27 күн бұрын
Same here, this is virtually identical to how my family still makes pumpkin pie, albeit with brown sugar instead of molasses. I've been told our family recipe dates back to my great-great-great grandmother who was born in east tennessee in 1810, but I'd always assumed it had probably been changed beyond recognition like a ship of theseus thing. I'm amazed to learn it really probably hasn't changed much! People always comment on how different our family pumpkin pies are- they have a very strong spice flavor (only ginger and cinnamon), are not too sweet, and have a melt-in-your-mouth barely set custard texture, just like the pie described here. Watching this video was a bit surreal because this is all just normal pumpkin pie to me.

Dear Max, pro tip--if you spray the inside of your measuring cup with oil before you put in the molasses it will be easier to add to your recipe....you're amazing! Also, cooking a pie on a cookie sheet will give you a soggy bottom.

I use a cookie sheet, but preheat the sheet very well in the oven. It actually helps cook the bottom crust and make it crispy. Another tip for a well cooked crust is to use a pie tin, rather than a glass pie dish.

As always a delightful and informative presentation. As a historian who loves to cook, I have tried a similar recipe, handed down in my family for generations, but am intrigued to try adding egg to the crust mixture. In my childhood, because of wartime scarcity, pumpkin, fresh or canned, was not always readily available. So my mother substituted butternut squash (which we grew in our garden) -- and nobody knew the difference. As an adult, I served my family pumpkin soup, made with rich chicken stock and topped with crumbled sesame sticks. Nobody had ever had it, but everyone found it delicious. For dessert, I have to confess, I topped wedges of pumpkin pie with sweetened whipped cream (how decadent! -- but delicious)

Loved this recipe and video! Members of my family don’t like a lot of extra sugar, so the scant third of a cup of molasses for a pie was perfect. Although I would say that I would use half honey, half molasses next time as the molasses I used was a little much. Also, I had some leftover, so I asked the question as anyone should: “Would this Brûlée?” And the answer is yes! Pumpkin Brûlée was excellent. Thank you again!

The one I got this year to make a jack o'lantern/pumpkin pie (2 for one) sounds a lot like Joseph Pitton de Tournefort's description of a dark green rind spotted with white. This is the first time I've come across this variety here, but the guy at the market said it's an especially tasty variety and I can't wait to eat it!

Not the sweetest, but very good for soups, and quite orange inside. Pretty colour for a vegetable stew, and tastes very good.

Despite how prolific pumpkin pie is in the US, it blows me away that we don't have pumpkin any other way, really. When I went to Australia, you could commonly see portions of raw pumpkin in the fruit and veg section for you to take home and just cook. I've literally never seen that in the states. It was actually really great, and I really miss it, cause roast pumpkin makes a great side to a steak.

Awesome as always. One thing about the sweetness factor; one thing I've learned from The Townends gang is that in that time, the "molasses" in common use would have been a lighter, sweeter variety (known as golden molasses, if I recall correctly.) So it may have actually been a sweeter pie, although nothing like the ones we bake or (heaven forbid) buy today.

Max, or Jose, thank you for putting the recipe back in the description. That helps a lot. I do wonder though, why Europeans as well as Australians, think that pumpkins are a veg and not to be used in baking. I remember when I was baking a pumpkin pie and the Australian wife of one of the SeaBees came over and she said the sweet smell of the pumpkin pie wasn't to her liking (it was a little stronger than that actually). They seem to lump all things squash or pumpkin as marrows. I do like the fact that this is not as sweet. Thanks a bunch.

As an Australian, pumpkin is considered a vegetable so it goes in savoury dishes. We also have different types of pumpkins which are not sweet or very mildly sweet so the northern hemisphere concept of baking it as sweet things is rather alien. Theres not really as much of a widespread tradition of using it in sweets or baking, apart from the pumpkin scone. We use it for roasts, in curries, casseroles ect because its a) hardy, b) bulks out and c) rather neutral in taste. Because our autumn and winter are march to august rather then september to february, October is spring for us and by that point, pumpkins start to become less used apart from adding to salads. The pumpkin spice latte has slowly started to appear in Australia but its not very big. Hope that helps answer the question!

Thanks Max - I have just made this pie today and am waiting for it to cool. Since I didn't have a deep pie dish I had to use a 9" dish that was only 1" deep. I used ordinary Shortcrust pastry and made a half quantity of the filling which turned out to be a good call on the volume of custard. At the moment I have Red Hokkaido and Butternut squashes so picked the Hokkaido. The baking reduced the weight considerably so I would suggest picking a whole squash that is about 3x the weight of the puree you need. You will lose some to the seeds as well as water during the baking but the resulting puree will be very nicely flavoured and about the correct weight. As for the molasses ingredient, I think what the recipe is calling for would be named Fancy Molasses in the US or Treacle in the UK. Since I didn't have Treacle I used half Blackstrap and half Golden Syrup (you could substitute Dark Corn Syrup for the Golden Syrup) to get the correct sweetness. Cooking time for the custard in the 9" shallow dish was 45-50 minutes at 350F/175C. It was properly set at 50 minutes. Now for the four cruelest words in any recipe... "Allow to cool completely".

It's always flakey and tender (if not overmixed) and the wine means it's never soggy because the alcohol evaporates so quickley. On calling folks Pumpkins. When I an my brother were very small our grandfather (Irish American) called us PUMPKINS. We tried to repeat it but could only manage Punky, which was our name for him all our lives. Hope you both enjoy the holidays with your families. We're gearing up for our big neighborhood halloween extravaganza. Everyone participates and it's much safer for the kids. We march around en masse and the kids get sweets and the adults coffee and botanas (snacks). Prizes for the kid's costumes and several piñatas filled with MORE candy and tangerines and nuts etc. All the Best Jim Oaxaca.

If you're dealing with a whole pumpkin don't bother to cut it in half! That can be hard to do depending on the size of the pumpkin and totally unnecessary. Just put the whole sucker on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for an hour or until you can easily pierce the shell. Let it cool and then cutting it apart and removing the seeds ( they come out more easily ) is very quick. Also, don't throw away the seeds. Rinse them in cold water to remove any pulp, put on a baking sheet, 350 - 10-20 minutes, toss in oil, add any seasoning you like or some salt. Put them back in the oven for a few more minutes. Also for the piecrust you showed four eggs but mentioned two. Which is it? You might try using sorghum syrup instead of molasses.Actually it would be awesome if you did a show on the production of molasses and sorghum.

Pumpkin is full of fiber and nutrients common in yellow/orange vegetables, there's eggs and milk for protein, and grains for carbs, so it seems at least as healthy as many breakfast bars. The idea of cold pumpkin grossed me out until I had a Philadelphia Cream Cheese Pumpkin Cheesecake.
