Duncan Hines Pumpkin Pie

1 cup pumpkin
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups hot milk (I use evaporated milk full strength)
1 egg
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell

Separate egg. Beat egg yolk and add with milk to dry ingredients. Beat egg white and fold carefully into mixture.

Pour into pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Reduce heat and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees until firm. May be topped with whipped cream and chopped Brazil nuts when served.

This is the pumpkin pie recipe I made for many years and still make it from time to time. The recipe is from the Duncan Hines Dessert Book that I have had since 1958.

I made these ribs recently. It's to die for.

Chipotle-Glazed Ribs

3 lb back or side ribs
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp salt
1 cup ketchup
2 chipotle peppers, minced
1 tbsp adobo sauce
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp molasses
1 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning, or blend of paprika, cumin, cayenne, etc.
2 tbsp brown sugar

Pour water in roasting pan to come 1/2" up sides. Cut ribs in 2-rib portions and place in pan in single layer. Cover and steam-roast at 325 degrees 75-90 minutes. Transfer to a large baking dish. Combine lemon zest and salt, rub all over ribs.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients and simmer 1/2 hour. Brush 1/2 the sauce over the ribs. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, turning and brushing with glaze at least once.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let ribs come to room temperature. Bake, brushing with remaining sauce until heated through and glazed, brushing with sauce at least once.

I rarely read this post because I tend not to follow recipes but I think I might have to start reading and contributing. Good recipes!

I made a Paula Dean appetizer for the party I went to last night. So easy and good but not very healthy.

14 sesame bread sticks - long ones I used Grisol Breadsticks
1 pkg bacon
container of fresh grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350F
Wrap strip of bacon around breadstick and lay on cookie sheet with a rim
Bake for 30 minutes
Take out of oven when done and roll while hot in parmesan cheese

Let cool and they will crisp up.

They were a bit hit at the party.

Really good butter tarts

Preheat oven to 450F

24 tart shells - I used Tenderflake shells or make your own pie pastry

3 eggs well beaten - I remove the white stringy bits
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup golden corn syrup or Lyles Golden Syrup(cane sugar syrup) or some of each to make 1 cup
3 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
1 tsp vinegar

beat eggs, mix in sugar, syrup, vanilla, salt, vinegar butter. I use a fork to beat everything together as I add it until well combined and smooth.

Line tart shells on cookie sheet, prick the bottoms and add raisins or chopped walnuts. Pour the filling mixture until shells are 3/4 full or not quite to the top of the rim.

walnuts or currants or golden raisins if you prefer. I prefer chopped walnuts

Bake for 5 minutes at 450F then lower temp to 400 and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until pastry is lightly golden and filling has darkened. Let cool

I have been searching for the best butter tart recipe for a long time and couldn't find one with the filling texture I wanted so I tweaked a recipe, added more egg than usually called for. I wish I had kept a couple of tarts for myself but I gave them all away.

Jasdip: The Chipotle-Glazed Ribs sound delicious. Are they spicy hot? I like hot, but my husband doesn't.

Glenda has a better tzatziti sauce recipe than this one. Thought I had it saved, but I don't.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for liberal drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted.
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 pound ground chicken
1 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick Montreal Seasoning)

Sauce for dipping:

1 1/2 cups Greek style plain yogurt
1/3 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh dill
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons, 1/2 a palm full, cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons, 1/2 a palm full, coriander
Salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl combine onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Squeeze the water out of the spinach until completely dry. Separate the spinach as you add it to garlic and onion. Add feta, chicken and grill seasoning to the bowl and a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix the meat with veggies and feta and form 18 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Place the meatballs on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes until they are golden and juices run clear.

Sauce:
Place yogurt, garlic, cucumber, dill, lemon juice, cumin, coriander and a little salt in food processor and process until smooth. Adjust seasonings and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve meatballs alongside sauce with toothpicks.

Tobygirl,
No, they're not hot. A deep delicous spicy flavour.
Just to make sure, try putting 1 chipotle pepper in.
You can always put another pepper in, next time you make it.

Anne, nice to see you here! I can't find the Tenderflake shells here. (I searched when Canada was celebrating T-giving last month.) But I did learn that Tenderflake is a brand of lard and so it is no wonder your butter tarts are so delicious. I love anything with walnuts and raisins. :-)

got this recipe from a place we used to love to go eat at.(before Diabetes hit and robbed me of these delights)

patti, I use plain yogurt, and drain it until all the juices are gone. And cut a cucumber down the middle, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
