i think it is called a ricer. that is what i call mine.
Yep..I couldn’t remember..and I think it is also called a food mill..Sometimes I have these lapses..and I can’t thin of the words!
What a beautiful pie Marye. You’ve improved the classic pumpkin pie.
I just want to pull up a chair and enjoy a piece. Isn’t that old thingy a ricer?
Well come on! Thanks Megan.
I love this challenge, and I’m so delighted the White House garden will be at the center of the meal.
I look forward to watching it..eventually. I dont have cable. :/
What is Grandma Molasses? I’m in the UK. The only molasses we can get here that I’m aware of is called treacle. Do you perhaps mean Golden Syrup?
Maz- it is always hard to translate
. Grandma’s molasses is unsulphured molasses….I am not sure what the equivalent is there..but no, not golden syrup..I think that is more like Corn SYrup.
Can you substitue grape juice for wine? Can you recommend a sweet wine.
Wendy..sure you can or even substitute gingerale or water. I’d say a ruby port might be just right.
I have to agree that the Libby’s recipe is the only one I’ve ever really liked…but this recipe may be the one that scoots Libby’s out of the top contender spot! I hope I can find a pie pumpkin–they’re supposed to be in short supply this year…
By the way, I have both a ricer (with kind of a plunging handle) and a food mill (with a circular rotating handle) and the picture of your Mother’s unnamed kitchen tool looks like a food mill to me too (although they probably give you both the same result—my food mill has three different hole sizes so you can mill fine, medium and coarse).
Anyway, it you haven’t tried using a ricer to make the best fluffy mashed potatoes ever, you should do so this Thanksgiving–simple recipe: Idaho potatoes, melted butter, warmed half & half, salt, a bit of pepper and a tiny pinch of nutmeg….yum! Cook the potatoes, then drain in a colander. Put the cooking pan back on the heat and heat up the butter, half & half and seasonings. Rice the potatoes right into the pan, mix, adjust the seasonings and you are good to go! By the way–that’s my secret recipe, so don’t tell anyone…
I hope you like it,
My mouth is so watering. What fabulous photos, too!
thanks Jen..I have had some good light the past week!
i send a lot of cookie soverseas. i also use popcorn (airpopped not microwave) as packign peanuts.
I don’t ever recommend this idea because you can end up with weevils and other grain born bugs in your popcorn.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for all the hard work and research that went into your two lists of Best Cookies. I make all our old favourites, especially at the holidays, but I also like to find something new. Your lists have given me a lot of options.
I made the Maple-Brown Sugar Snickerdoodles and I *thought* I followed all the instructions but maybe you might have a thought about why the dough was kind of dry and had to be pinched and pressed to hold together. The sugar mixture didn’t stick really well because they were so dry. I used dry measure cups for the flour (I spoon the flour into the cup and then level it with a knife). Could that be where I went wrong? I used an extra-large egg.
I’m really looking forward to trying some of the others on the list. Again, thank you for sharing all this with cookie bakers everywhere
Grace…It does sound like too much flour. These measurements work well for me. Try cutting the flour by 1/2 cup and see how that works for you.
I love it, tart berries, and some nice red wine, plus crisp and plenty of sugar, mmm. PAMA pomegranate might be good too.
I bet it would!
I am so sorry to hear about the huge challenges that you are facing right now. May the Force be with you!! And thanks for keeping on, keeping on … you are inspiring!
Thank you so much, anne. I appreciate it.
Definitely thoughts and prayers to you. Hope everything can get worked out!
thanks katrina. I hope so too.
This sounds like a great pumpkin cake, but it sure as heck isn’t tiramisu!
Tiramisu (n) – A dessert of cake infused with a liquid such as coffee or rum, layered with a rich cheese filling, and topped with grated chocolate.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tiramisu
Yep…it is. Perhaps not traditional but tiramisu none the less.
Oh Marye, I am so sorry to hear this!!!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t been around for the emotions as I have an excellent shoulder to cry on. I could have lent it to you.
Marriage is such a difficult thing especially in the age we live in. You are both in my prayers as well as all of your kids. I pray that the Lord will change Marc’s heart. You all have such a long tough road ahead whatever the outcome, but know that in the darkest of times Jesus is right there 5 steps ahead of you making a way.
Hang in there sister!! Prayer is on its way!!!!
Big Hugs, Cori
Love you Cori. I go an heal at your blog.
Keep praying!
I was pretty skeptical making the batter–it was AWFUL–but the cookies are delicious! Thanks for the grear recipe!
Delicious but gross batter! I really like them.
ummm..thanks..I think.
I am so sorry to hear that Marye.
I will be praying for you and Marc and your whole family.
thank you Lisa. I am trying to stay optimistic.
I had been praying though I wasn’t really aware of what was happening exactly. I am so sorry – that is incredibly difficult! I will be keeping your whole family in my prayers and ask Him to give you great strength through this time of trial. And oh how I do pray for a healed marriage! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Lisa…I knew you owuld be…One of the reasons I just went ahead and told everyone is because I knew so many people were praying..now it can be specific!
Totally.drooling. Yum – that sounds so good and I have never even had a whiskey sour – LOL! What a pretty cake for Christmas time with the cherries in it!
It is pretty, Lisa…I don’t drink often at all (less than a couple of times a decade) and I really liked this.
I’m so sorry your going thru this difficult time. My prayers are with you and the whole family. However difficult it is, I pray Marc has a change of heart and you guys can work it out. 30 years is such a long time. Big hugs to you Marye!
Thanks Megan..I love my friends…so encouraging.
Just when you think you can’t improve on a traditional pumpkin pie–you come along with this. Sounds great. I’ll bet my mom would love this for sure!
Thanks Katrina..it is different but good.
Do you know how long it will last in the fridge, untill it spoils???? cant wait to try it looks yummy.
Sorry Daniel they dont last more than an hour here so I don’t know. i would think a couple of days.
This looks cool but if you are clumsy it is not a great idea.
LOL not a great idea in a small kitchen either. The picture i had in my head…….
I can get away with kahlua for sinful chocolate cake, and wine for cooking…. Vodka may just put my dh over the edge.
It looks very tasty though.
substitute white wine for the vodka.
Hey I’m so glad I found your website. I’ve been thinking about how to send cookies to my boyfriend in US (I’m in Singapore). So, does that mean it’s ok to send sugar cookies with royal icing? Thank you so much. =)
Yes, that should be fine…Just use the method I have outlined and I think you will be o.k.
I’m loving your blog and I will attempt this for Thanksgiving. Libby’s is the only recipe I’ve tried, but this and your whiskey sour cake will be on the menu. Did you use light or dark brown sugar in the recipe? Thanks.
SHirley, Thank you! I used dark but either would work. The key is to roast the pumpkin until it really gets dark.
These sound like THE perfect PB cookie! Just wondering…how would these cookies handle having added goodies like M&MS or chopped peanuts? Even without added goodies, I’ll be mailing these yummers to nieces and nephews working and studying all over the world.
That sounds fantastic!
Wow! Thanks for linking to my peppers! I appreciate it.
no problem..they looked awesome
STill no cookies in the mail.
Wow..maybe I am glad I don’t have sibs…the nerve.
This recipe is great! I used a little bit less milk, and they came out amazing. Thanks so much.
I am so glad! We loved them.
Thanks for the very detailed article! I was trying to find out the difference between baking pumpkins and carving pumpkins, but was very interested to learn of the different roasting techniques! Will be pureeing my pumpkins tomorrow! Thanks again.
Jill pie pumpkins are also called sugar pumpkins. They have more flesh and a higher sugar content than carving pumpkins.
Where can I find Raspberry Chocolate Chips?
Jerry, Hershey doesnt make them any more. I found them here http://www.organic-wave.com/25lb-raspberry-chocolate-chips-1m.aspx but it looks like you have to buy 25 lbs! I suggest using milk chocolate chips and dried raspberries as a substitute.
I am totally impressed how you made your own ravioli. You put together a really great dish. Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
Thanks…Can’t wait to see the roundup.
This is a mighty impressive dish.
thank you! It was fun to make
I think that even for those who don’t regularly imbibe, alcohol can be a really great seasoning in cooking. It can definitely add a little extra something to pasta dishes. This looks fantastic! I love the filling in the ravioli. So cute!
thanks Joanne!
I enjoyed making this.
You mean the supposed sewer sludge White House Garden? No thanks!
eh..some of the best tomatoes I ever had were brought to me by a guy who inspected sewers..
The ravioli looks great though seems a lot of effort. Hope to make it someday but only if I own a pasta machine
ah…but homemade pasta is so worth the effort!
Any of these sides would be wonderful for our traditional Christmas dinner as well since in Canada Thanksgiving has come and gone:D
Valli – they would! I think we are going to start our Christmas decorating this week
WOuld you please help me out with teh coffee version of this….I too have someone in the middle east, but he is more of a coffee guy. I just KNOW he would love these.
Thanks in advance
Mariah
Just substitute strong coffee for tea
Holy cow, what a mouthwatering list of cookies! I’m totally honored to have my cookies included on the list. Now to bake my way through the list, I’ll go get some butter out of the fridge to come to room temperature….
Lynn…LOL!
Thanks you Marye and you I must say you are looking good! Love the photos too.These are always a good way to know people a little more. Curious about the leather dream however! LOL. Thanks for being a friend and you will never be abandoned by the people that love you.
You can just stay curious my friend.
And thanks….
Hi Marye,
. I’m kicking myself in the toukass though about the Best friend thing…I took the safe road and said hubby. What a chicken I turned out to be…LOL!!!
I just did this meme yesterday and we have a lot of the same answers, but the leather thing? No, I don’t think so
Oh yes! The hair is gorgeous!! Mine, whimpy.
xoxo Cori
LOL Cori!
I made this tea cake last night and I love it. It’s wonderful with a hot cup of Earl Grey on the side. I’m sure you get asked alot, but my husband wanted to make sure that you use 1/2 a cup of brewed tea, not 1/2 a cup of tea leaves.
thanks amanda!
My Husband is on his 3rd deployment to Iraq. I find great joy out of sending him goodies and he loves having a taste of home. I send a wide variety of cookies, brownies, Rice Krispie Treats, and breads in a jar. I havent sent anything yet that has gone bad or fallen apart. What I use for packing them is Ziploc large rectangular containers . line them with parchment or wax paper, place the cookies in 2 rows long ways, top with parchment or wax paper, place a piece of bread on top of that(helps keep them moist esp summer time) then use Glad seal n wrap on top of that and press and seal inside the container. I do the same with brownies and rice Krispie treats. And I just recently started sending bread in a jar, found a recipe on line , and its great. And when you pack your boxes, pack them tight , leave no room for movement.
those are great tips, Anne
This looks absolutely wonderful! I want to make this for Thanksgiving. What size spring form pan should I use?
Good luck with the contest!
Laura I believe I used a 9 inch for this.
How gorgeous! I’m drooling and can’t wait to make some. My family will love it!
Since my daughter and I love making our own pasta together, this is one fantastic treat! Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights. It’s always wonderful when you do.
I hope you like it Ruth!
I am thinking of roasting my turkey the day before Thanksgiving. This would save a lot of work preparing the rest of the meal. I would then just reheat the turkey in a roaster and possibly pour chicken broth over it so it would not get dry.
It works fine. I usually cook mine a month ahead, carve it and freeze it in broth.
I’ve considered and you’ve got my vote. Not sure why they put you into the custard category because your version of Tiramisu is more cake, but hey, there’s some stiff competition in the cake category. Yours actually looks good and I bet will taste amazing, too. Printing recipe now!
Aw.. thanks!
