Show MAKING A PUMPKIN PIE. Here's a Description of How Grandmother Grand-mother Old It. Uoon any ono romomber tho pumpkin pump-kin plos which grandmother used to nnko? Grandmother oponed tho pumpkin and took out Its works nnd pooled nnd sllcod It nnd put It In tho kettlo, whore It wan bollod until It was soft nnd mushy, but not too mushy. Inter nho prossod tho result through tho holos In a rolnndor, and when sho had dished out a portion for Immcdlato use, sho was ready to begin tho construction of tho pumpkin pio. A big nnd square iron bako sheet was lined with flour crust, which covered the bottom of the pan and reachod up along, the four edges until tho pastry "outd look over the rim. Thon she put an egg nnd u sufficient nmount ot sweet milk In among tho pumpkin nnd added a whole lot of black mola$sos ami n pinch ot salt, and a big lot ot singer, and n pinch and a hnlt of imted nutmeg to tho concoction, and when these hnd been stirred In among the milk nnd tho pumpkin, tho mass of IngredlontH was poured Into tho nko pan and tha pan was closod up msldo of the ovon to bo cremated, while tho children waited outsldo with tho wnter oozing from our tcooths until the wonderful expeilmst was completed. And nobody oxcopt somo fow of us lucky old chaps over tasted anything like one of thosn pumpkin pies. It tvns deop and spicy and sweot nnd satisfying. It wns moro llko a pumpkin pump-kin pudding, so thick It was, nnd wholly llko unto nmbroala stoeped In nectar, so toothsomo It wns; and when wo think of thoso groat squnres of pumpkin pio which found their way down our rnvonous gullot, we wonder how It Is that modern boys manngo llvo nt nil without pumpkin pio. langor Nows. |
