\"pumpkin<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
As\u00a0a child I was the only member of my family who didn’t gravitate toward pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. The custard filling was just … so … smooth.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
As a grown up I am more enthusiastic, although the consistency still tends to flummox me.\u00a0The recipe below solves the consistency issue by addiing other textures to the custard’s custardiness. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The flavors it adds don’t hurt, either!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The pie looks appropriately festive in\u00a0my pumpkin-shaped pan from Wilton<\/a>,\u00a0but you may of course use a standard pie pan. Here’s the recipe………..<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\"tcardweb\"<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
1-1\/2 cups pumpkin or winter squash puree
\n1\/2 cup white sugar
\n1\/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon ginger or allspice (or a bit of each)
\n1 cup evaporated milk
\n1\/2 cup water
\n2 eggs
\n2\/3 cup caramels
\n3 tablespoons cream
\n1 handful toasted pecans
\n1 handful toasted coconut
\n1 9-inch pie shell<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together the pumpkin, sugars, spices, milk, water, and eggs. Place the combination in the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes; then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until firm. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In a small saucepan combine the caramels and cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until they melt together.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Drizzle the caramel mixture over the pie, and top with the pecans and coconut. (If you\u2019d rather save some caramel to drizzle over the top, please do so!)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Serves 6 to 8.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
