New world pumpkin pie
Pies
Pumpkin pie is definitely in my top 10 favorite pies (why, yes, I do have a list!) and of course it's already beloved as a Thanksgiving Day pie. But I was thinking about how to make a pumpkin pie that emphasizes the holiday and pays homage to the flavors from the Americas, the pumpkin's homeland. This ingredients in this pie are like a greatest hits of indigenous American flavors: the toothsome crunch of cornmeal in the crust, a zippy burst of American corn-mash bourbon in the Latin American dulce de leche, pepitas dusted with Caribbean allspice and cayenne -- and, of course, a rich, soft pumpkin custard in the middle.
