      When the measurements are missing, does it really matter? Besides, back then a cook was expected to know how to cook. Thus detailed instructions weren't necessary.
      So why sweat it on a youtube channel? Just cook the food and enjoy.
      And i agree, pumpkin pie should not be overly sweet. The pumpkin should be the star.

      Same same! It’s encouraged me as a young 20-something to take life one day at a time, and sometimes just one recipe at a time. I can’t explain how much my confidence has gone up since finding this channel. I used to think my friends would make fun of me for liking history as much as I do, but now, I just geek out on it all and don’t care if they do judge! This community is so amazing. I know John says that probably 5 times in each cooking episode but it’s soooo true! I’ve also really found joy in refining my cooking and baking skills! I used to worry I’d be that mom that would never be able to make more than spaghetti, but because of this channel, I can say I have so much more cooking and life-skills knowledge than I ever thought possible before! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Townsends for all y’all do! 💜

    I made this for Thanksgiving. I didn’t add nearly enough ginger, allspice, or molasses so it was pretty bland, but it definitely looked, smelled, and cut like a pumpkin pie. I’ll add much more flavorings next time and I’ll definitely make it again. Our house is from 1759 and I find it so cool that someone could’ve baked the same recipe 224 years ago in my house

      Cheers to you! I did the same, and also underestimated the amount of spice required. I think Jon really may have put more than 1.5 tsp of molasses in there! We all still enjoyed, and I'm glad I made some whipped cream with maple syrup, which added that touch of sweetness everyone was looking for. Loved living this slice of history.

  • @danielclaeys7598
    @danielclaeys7598 2 ปีที่แล้ว +88

    The shine on the top is caused by the sugars in the molasses. This will also let you know when the pie is done. The molasses will start to get shiny around the edge first. When the center is shiny, it's done. You can also use maple syrup and get the same results.
    Scraps of pie dough can be rolled out and using a cookie cutter, be made into decorations for the top. During the last 12 to 15 minutes, place on cookie sheet, wash with egg and sprinkle with sanding or raw sugar. It's getting a sugar cookie with your pie.

      Except that Americans are obsessed with cinnamon and put it in about every other dish there is. Cinnamon was never in pumpkin pie and modernly it is the main spice. So I would say it has changed quite a bit considering cinnamon it's a very strong tasting spice.

    It would be worth looking at trying a more refined molasses. Fancy grade molasses is lighter in colour and sweeter without the sulphur taste of boot strap molasses. Treacle would probably have been the molasses of choice in 1797. Love your videos and your courage to cook like a real person. Cheers from Vancouver and Happy American Thanksgiving.

    As soon as he said, molasses, I knew it was what made that dark color. We always use molasses in our pumpkin pies. My great grandmother made it that way and she was born in 1898. It must have been in her family for years. We use 3 tbs for 1 deep dish pie. We also use cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. No allspice. We sprinkle cloves on top. It's so rich with a great robust flavor. I've never had any other pumpkin pie like it. I'm anxious to bake a few more this Thanksgiving. 😀

I'm trying to do as little as industrial food products as possible (e.g. sweetened condensed milk in most pie recipes) and cook with only the things available to me through my local farms and CSA. I'm going to try this out and use up some of the maple sugar I have, along with some petimezi I made from my garden grapes to replace the molasses (petimezi=grape molasses). There's a great homestead producing small-batches of handmade maple sugar in the US!

      When you have liquid custardy fillings it's better to have a thicker crust to prevent a soggy bottom.

      I know right? What are the odds of a pumpkin pie video appearing just after Halloween and right before thanksgiving, and then for you to be dealing with your Halloween pumpkin right NOW of all times…… it’s inconceivable!!! 😂

    Had a good butternut squash harvest this season, - with some of the butternut squashes coming out in the shape of pumpkins!!! Don't ask me - I used seed from the same singular butternut from last year, cut it open, took out the seeds and planted them all directly, and some came out looking like light orange pumpkins - so I'll be making my own "pumpkin" pie with butternut squash that thinks it's a pumpkin tomorrow, using this recipe but very light on the molasses. Thank you, Jon Townsend!!! Always a happy end to the day.. Happy Thanksgiving!!

    I just made this recipe yesterday out of one of our old small Halloween pumpkins unopened yet. I made it yesterday for a practice run and found it a little stringy but the flavor was amazing. I have another one in the oven right now much more finely mashed, it's definitely going to be one of the Staples of our yearly traditions. Also I have to say you are definitely right the nutmeg was a for sure win!
