Mom's Pumpkin Custard Pie

-
It's perfect! and it's delicious!


Whenever I hear the words Pumpkin Pie I immediately think of my Mom's smooth, creamy, nearly impossible (for me) to resist pie she made from time to time as far back as I can remember. My husband and most of our chillens have come to think the same thing when they hear those words. I use cooked butternut squash to make this pie most of the time and I love how the pumpkin/squash and the custard seperate into layers. Our oldest son can almost not get enough of this whenever I make it and with Fall and pumpkin season coming up I think he's going to be getting his fair share. ☺ I usually eat my piece backwards because the tip of it is my favorite bite. YUM!!

Ingredients:
2 - 9 inch unbaked pie crusts*
1 heaping cup pumpkin, or butternut squash
1½ cups white sugar
1½ cups brown sugar
7 large eggs, seperated
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
Pumpkin Pie Spice
1½ cups evaporated milk
4½ cups regular milk

Mix together pumpkin, sugars, flour, and spice.

Beat egg yolks; add milks and beat well.

Pour into pumpkin mixture and mix well.

Beat egg whites till soft peaks form; then add to the rest of the ingredients and fold with a wire whisk to mix.

* I use the fluted Pyrex deep dish pie plates.

Pour into pie plates and fill to the bottom of the fluted edge. I remember my Mom filling them, putting them into the oven and then filling them some more so they are nice and full but she wasn't likely to spill them in transport. I like to fill them more after they are in the oven to make sure they bake evenly to the top of the crust but that's just me. Most of the time I worry that they will over flow, so fill them till you're comfortable and go from there. ☺

Bake @ 425 for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 325 and bake until it is set. The center should jiggle a little if you were to give it a little shake. Approximately around 45 minutes depending on your oven. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate after it is cooled before cutting and serving it.


See what I mean by baking to the top of the crust? I like that! In my opinion if your gonna be eating pie anyway it should be full to the top!



Enjoy and Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
