RECIPE

 

  
  
  42. Pumpkin Pie.
  Take a ripe pumpkin, and chip off the rind or skin ; halve
it, and take out the seed and puffy part in the centre, which
throw away. Cut the pumpkin into small, thin slices ;
fill a pie-dish therewith; add a teaspoonful of spice and
a tablespoonful of sugar, with a small quantity of water.
Cover with a nice light paste, and bake in the ordinary
way. Pumpkin pie is greatly improved by being eaten with
clotted cream and sugar. An equal quantity of apples will
make it a still more delicious pie.
