Treat or Treat!
This is such a magical time of year as autumnal colours cover the landscape and provide a veritable feast for the eyes. We have Halloween and Bonfire Night approaching and, of course, one of the best things about both occasions is the food! With pumpkins everywhere, I asked my American friends for a good Pumpkin Pie recipe and at the end of this email you will find, apparently, a pretty fool proof and very delicious one. I’m definitely going to give it a go!
In the meantime, there are more treats in store for you right now. We have been awaiting the arrival of some gorgeous long gilets from Frandsen. Padded, with a detachable hood, we have them in Black or Winter White. They are warm and snuggly and completely on-trend for this season so don’t miss out as I think these are going to fly! The sizes seem to be pretty accurate.

Chef John’s Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
1 can (15 ounce) pumpkin puree
3 egg yolks
1 large egg
1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground salt
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon 5 spice powder
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (I’m thinking one of those ready made pastry cases would be perfect here)
Method
Preheat over to 220 degrees C.
Whisk together pumpkin puree, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.
Fit pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges.
Pour filling into the pie shell and lightly tap on the work surface to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the crust, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.
How very true!…
