How about a "Mystery Pecan Pie"? It's a cross between a cheesecake & pecan
pie - never fails to get rave reviews!!

Mystery Pecan Pie

1 pkg pie crusts (15 oz) 2 tsp. vanilla, divided
8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/4 tsp. salt
4 large eggs, divided 1 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup sugar, divided 1 cup light corn syrup

Unfold & stack 2 pie crusts; gently roll or press together. Fit into a 9
inch pie plate; fold edges under & crimp. Beat cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup
sugar, 1 tsp vanilla & salt at medium speed with electric mixer until
smooth. Pour into pie crust & sprinkle with pecans. Stir together corn
syrup, remaining eggs, sugar & vanilla. Pour over pecans. Bake @ 350 degrees
for 50 - 55 minutes or until set.

Enjoy! Joy

This is a great recipe from Southern Living Magazine
and perfect for Thanksgiving. Rusty

15 ounces can pumpkin
14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 cups sour cream

Combine crumbs, 3 tbsps brown sugar and butter. Press on bottom of a 9"
springform pan. Set aside. Beat cream cheese and flour at medium speed
with an electric mixer until creamy. Add pumpkin and next 5 ingredients.
Pour into prepared crust. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Reduce oven

Combine sour cream and remaining 1 tbsp brown sugar; spread over
cheesecake. Bake 5 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack 30 minutes; cover

My note - Made this Nov. 2002 - everyone loved it!!!!

My family traditionally had pumpkin pie and lemon meringue pie to choose
from.

You want to make it interesting.. how about a pumpkin cheesecake? or go
southern and do a pecan pie ( or go crazy and do a chocolate pecan pie and
invite ME!)...

TRY THE TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE I POSTED NOT AN HOUR AGO.

Perhaps add some rum and Coco Lopez... serve topped with real whipped cream and
dusted with cinnamon.

Tradition dictates a pumpkin pie, but it is always good to have an
alternative for those poor people who do not appreciate it.

For Thanksgiving?
Pumpkin pie
Lemon Meringue Pie
Pecan Pie
Mince Pie (husband's favorite)
Chocolate Cream Pie
Apple pie
Coffee cheesecake (vanilla cc with a tsp of instant coffee
granules added to the batter)
Crepes

I read your question and thought, pumpkin pie would be traditional, but
the question was for something interesting; pumpkin cheesecake would be
perfect. Then I read the other responses and see that others have made
the same suggestion. That's 3 votes now for pumpkin cheesecake.

Is this related to the Amish brown sugar pies?

Great, Helen! Trifle was what I was going to suggest. Here's a favorite,
tint:


* Exported from MasterCook *

English Trifle

1 package lady fingers -- separated
raspberry jam
1/4 cup sherry
3 ounce package raspberry Jell-O
1 small can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 package Jell-O French Vanilla pudding
whipped cream or fat-free whipped topping

Separate the lady fingers and spread with raspberry jam. Line the bottom
and sides of a glass dish. Sprinkle with sherry.

Prepare raspberry Jell-O, cool and pour over the lady fingers. Allow to
set.

Spread with the crushed pineapple; sprinkle with slivered almonds (if
desired).

Prepare the Jell-O French vanilla pudding (I prefer the cooked variety);
cover surface with plastic wrap and allow to cool. Spread over the fruit.

Top with whipped cream or fat-free whipped topping.
NOTES : Can be doubled, in a tall trifle dish.

Just wondering, is this a typically English ingredient? Not Devon
Custard or Bird's thingie?

No, Michel, it's usually made with Bird's custard powder or genuine custard
sauce (thick). However, it's hard to find Bird's custard and I'm getting
lazier in my advancing years! Pretty good substitute, though. BTW, I'm
intrigued by your quote from Bush's speech in Tokyo - is that REALLY what he
said??

As I've said before, to the best of my knowledge, yes.

How about modifying a flan recipe by using caramelizing maple syrup for the
coating inside the baking dish.

Here is a recipe - in the "for the filling stage" subbing a good Grade B
syrup would work as long as the temperature gets high enough - What do you
think?

Dimitri


Tart Tatin (pulled form a google site)


This recipe was found in the Weekend Telegraph of December 2, 1989 and I am
indebted to the contributor whose identity is lost. This method is more
labour intensive as it call for the apples to be sliced but the result is
neater and rather like the other French classic

- Tarte au Pomme.

Ingredients
110g/4oz butter cut into small pieces
175g/6.5oz plain flour
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
2-3 tbsp water or milk
60g/2oz unsalted butter
A squeeze of lemon
5 heaped tbsp sugar
8 large Cox's Orange Pippin apples

For the pastry
Work the butter very well into the flour and sugar then add the egg and
enough water or milk to bind the soft dough. Wrap in cling film and chill
for 30 minutes.

For the filling
Melt the butter in a 25cm (10 inch) round metal mould over a low flame. Add
the lemon juice and sugar and stir until it turns brown. Peel, core and
slice the apples. Arrange a layer of concentric circles over the caramelised
butter and sugar and fill with layers of the rest of the sliced apples.

The final stage
Roll the dough out on a floured board with a floured rolling pin and cut a
circle to fit inside the tin (mould). Lift it gently and lay it over the
apples, pressing down on them gently. Bake at 230 Deg C/450 Deg F/Gas Mk 8
for 30 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Remove from the oven, cut
round the edges and invert it quickly onto a flat serving dish.
A few hints
Be sure to cook the caramel to a darkish brown to the point where it has a g
ood "nose". Make the pastry a bit larger than the mould and tuck the outside
down the side of the apples using your fingers.

No reason you couldn't substitute maple syrup for brown sugar.

Thanks Dimitri & Alan.

We do have a couple of excellent Tatins that have served us well.
it's the "maple" part that intrigued me. Samantha advises that
thickening up the #1 grade syrup is a cast iron bitch of a job.
Coincidentally i just scored a source for reasonably priced maple
sugar here in town. Must try it now.

Harry, I suggest you ditch the #1 in favor of #2, which is much better
for baking.
