small pumpkin, or half of a large one
1 quart of sweet milk,
3 eggs
2 table-spoonsful of corn starch
1 large cup sugar
salt, ginger and nutmeg to taste
1 recipe homeade pie crust

Preparation:

1. Take a small pumpkin, or half of a large one, stew long and slowly, then strain it, after peeling, and cutting it in small pieces.

 

2. Mix with this quantity of pulp, one quart of sweet milk, three eggs, and two table-spoonsful of corn starch mixed first smooth with a little of the milk. Salt, sugar, and ginger must be put in to taste. A large cup of sugar is about right; one nutmeg. The ginger is indispensable to a genuine pumpkin pie. If part cream can be used the pie is much richer, as well as more delicate in flavor.
