Pumpkin Pye - that's Pie with a Rye Crust - for #PumpkinWeek

By
Hello and welcome to day 6 and the end of #PumpkinWeek hosted by Terri of Love and Confections. We are celebrating our love of the season with a whole week of pumpkin goodies, leading up to National Pumpkin Day, tomorrow. 17 Food Bloggers have come together to share over 65 recipes with you. In addition to homemade pumpkin puree, pie, and cookies, we are also sharing savory pumpkin dishes like hummus, chili and pumpkin corn chowder.

Come back every day for #PumpkinWeek recipes. You can also find these great recipes and more on Love and Confections' #PumpkinWeek Pinterest Board!


And for this final day of #PumpkinWeek I decided to (re)post a recipe that my 12-year-old, AKA the Precise Kitchen Elf, made for Thanksgiving last year...and throughout the entire winter. It's a family favorite. Thanks to Terri, of Love and Confections, for hosting this fun, pumpkin-filled week. I hope you enjoyed it. I certainly did.


Ingredients
The Crust
  • 1-1/2 C white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 C dark rye flour
  • 1 T caraway seeds, lightly crushed in a mortar and pestle
  • 1/2 C powdered sugar
  • 3/4 C butter

The Pie
  • 2 C pumpkin puree (here's how to make your own puree)
  • 1 C Hachiya persimmon puree (feel free to use all pumpkin if you don't have any persimmon)
  • 1 C heavy cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 T organic brown sugar
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 t ground cloves
  • 1/2 t ground nutmeg
  • 1 T pure vanilla extract

Procedure
Mix the flours, sugar and caraway seeds; rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in 1 teaspoon of water with a fork until the mixture forms a ball. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper. Press gently into a pie pan. Chill in the freezer until ready to bake.


Whisk all of the filling ingredients together and place in the crust.



Bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until the filling is set. It will be firm to the touch and the crust will be lightly browned. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
