Pumpkin chiffon pie
Pies
I can't take any credit for this recipe, but I love it and the family recipes contest seems a great way to share it. My great grandmother sent away for a cookbook from Knox Gelatin, probably sometime in the 1940s, and in the years that followed, this pie became a family favorite and a mainstay every Thanksgiving. I'm not sure I've ever had a traditional pumpkin pie. This filling is light, like a mousse - as the description on the original recipe says, "Better than any pumpkin pie you've ever eaten, this one has a heavenly texture and fine flavor". If you aren't too strongly attached to your own pumpkin pie recipe, I recommend giving it a spin. <br />Use your favorite pie crust; I am including the Betty Crocker version that my mom and I (and my grandmother before us) have always used. <br />To make a 10" pie, just double the filling - and use a 10" crust, of course.
