Houser's Blue Ribbon Pumpkin Pie Grange Fair Winner

"From CDT Wens 30th 2000 M Houser age 9, Blue Ribbon Pie winning recipe on his first try at entering the fair's pie category. " We never expected this." said his Mother, who taught M to bake when he was old enough to stand on a chair. He doesn't have to look at a recipe and "he cracks his eggs one handed." Pretty good for a 4th grader. Why no other spices? Well M doesn't like nutmeg or allspice."

  1. This recipe is the same as the one on the Libby's Pumpkin can, just using all cinnamon and baking in an 8 inch pan. But be careful - if your 8 inch pan is not a deep dish pan, there will be too much filling. Judge for yourself, but a better choice is a regular 9 inch pie pan.
     
  2. I love this pie!!! This is the pumpkin pie recipe I've been looking for FOREVER. You have no idea how hard it has been for me to find a pumpkin pie recipe with no cloves, allspice, or nutmeg in it - just cinnamon and sugar. I think I even posted a topic on the Recipezaar forum looking for one. This is it!!!! I have also never been able to actually bake a pumpkin pie without under- or over-cooking it before this recipe. I used two store-bought graham cracker crusts because I am not ambitious enough to make pie crust homemade. Using-store bought crusts makes this pie really quick to throw together. I can't believe it's from a 4th grader. This is the perfect baked pumpkin pie recipe, especially after it's cooled and has lots of whipped cream on top. Note: this recipe makes TWO pies.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh.. OK IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR JESSIE'S KEY LIME PIE? Google the name. It's all over the net. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. - Eric Hoffer And no I didn't let the door hit me on the ... on the way to my site at <A HREF="http://chef.philocrates.tripod.com">Philocrate's recipes </A> where at least I can take responsibilty for mistakes in recipes.
