    i think it is called a ricer. that is what i call mine.

    • Marye Audet says:

      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!

  2. megan says:

    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?

  3. I love this challenge, and I’m so delighted the White House garden will be at the center of the meal.

    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?

    • Marye Audet says:

      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.

    • Marye Audet says:

      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…

  7. My mouth is so watering. What fabulous photos, too!

  8. funky says:

    i send a lot of cookie soverseas. i also use popcorn (airpopped not microwave) as packign peanuts.

    • Marye Audet says:

      I don’t ever recommend this idea because you can end up with weevils and other grain born bugs in your popcorn.

  9. Grace Logan says:

    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

    • Marye Audet says:

      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.

  10. DianaHayes says:

    I love it, tart berries, and some nice red wine, plus crisp and plenty of sugar, mmm. PAMA pomegranate might be good too.

  11. anne lossing says:

    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!

  12. Katrina (subscribed) says:

    Definitely thoughts and prayers to you. Hope everything can get worked out!

  13. cass (subscribed) says:

    This sounds like a great pumpkin cake, but it sure as heck isn’t tiramisu!

  14. Cori. G (subscribed) says:

    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

  15. amelia says:

    I was pretty skeptical making the batter–it was AWFUL–but the cookies are delicious! Thanks for the grear recipe! :)

  16. amelia says:

    Delicious but gross batter! I really like them.

  17. Lisa (subscribed) says:

    I am so sorry to hear that Marye. :( I will be praying for you and Marc and your whole family.

  18. 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.

    • Marye Audet says:

      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!

  19. 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!

    • Marye Audet says:

      It is pretty, Lisa…I don’t drink often at all (less than a couple of times a decade) and I really liked this.

  20. megan says:

    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!

  21. Katrina (subscribed) says:

    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!

  22. daniel says:

    Do you know how long it will last in the fridge, untill it spoils???? cant wait to try it looks yummy.

    • Marye Audet says:

      Sorry Daniel they dont last more than an hour here so I don’t know. i would think a couple of days.

  23. Ginger says:

    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.

  24. Jesscia says:
