Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie

1 small pumpkin.
2 1/2 cups of pulp.
2 cups of milk.
1 tablespoonful molasses.
2 eggs.
1 teaspoonful each of salt, ginger, cinnamon, and butter.
2 heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar.

Cut the pumpkin in small pieces and take out the seeds and remove the peel.

Put the good part over the kettle and steam it till it is tender, keeping it covered.

Then you take off the cover, and stand the steamer you have cooked it in on the back of the stove, till the heat makes the pumpkin nice and dry. 

Then mash it and put it through the colander.

While it is warm, mix in everything in the rule except the eggs; let it cool, and put these in last, beating them till light.

Line the pie-tin with crust, and pour in the filling and bake.

This rule is a very nice one; it makes two pies.
