SUSAN'S PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE
This pie isn't totally "homemade" because I use sweetened condensed milk in it - but it does turn out perfect every single time, and gets rave reviews. It's my standard for Thanksgiving dinners. I make up for the condensed milk by making real whipped cream for the topping. Our family doesn't really like Cool Whip because they are spoiled with the real stuff! I use only about 2 tablespoons of brown or raw sugar to sweeten the cream. That gives it a different flavor. You can use any type of crust, but if you want to do homemade, I suggest the Colonial Williamsburg pastry recipe which I will link for you. http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/frenchtutor/pastry-crust-mix-colonial-williamsburg-cookbook/other-dessert

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prepare crust. I do not prebake my crust, and it turns out fine every time. Just line the deep dish pie plate with the crust, trim and flute edges, making them kind of high to hold all the filling.
- Beat the canned pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, and spice at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.
- Bake at 425° for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° and continue baking for 40 to 45 more minutes, until set. Cool to serving temperature. Cut into serving pieces before topping with whipped cream.
- WHIPPED CREAM: Chill your bowl and beaters. I like using a stainless steel mixing bowl because it stays cold. Pour cream into bowl and whip on high speed until almost doubled in volume, but not stiff. Sprinkle on the sugar, and continue to whip until sugar is incorporated and it reaches the soft peaks stage. Serve large dollops on top of pie slices.
COLONIAL GAME PIE (KING'S ARMS TAVERN)
Here's one for the Wild Thang group, for those of you who like cooking wild game. This came from the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, published 1975. A collection of recipes served in the taverns and inns of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Like all older cooking methods, this one takes some time. The photo is just to show you...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt the cavity of the duck and place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Bake for 30 minutes at 400, reduce the heat to 325, and bake until the duck tests done.
- 2. Simmer the rabbit in a small amount of water for 60 minutes or until tender.
- 3. Cut the venison into large cubes and saute in the vegetable oil in a large skillet until well browned, stirring and turning as necessary. Remove the venison and drain the oil from the skillet.
- 4. Add the port wine to the skillet and boil for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any brown particles. Return the venison to the skillet and add the Brown Sauce. Simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the venison is tender.
- 5. Cut the duck and rabbit meat in medium-sized pieces, and place in the skillet with the venison to keep warm. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper, and currant jelly.
- 6. Saute the mushrooms in the butter until lightly browned. Fry the bacon until crisp, and drain. Heat the onions and drain.
- 7. Divide the game mixture into individual greased casserole dishes and garnish the top of each with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. Cover each dish with the pastry crust, trim the edges, and prick the tops to allow the steam to escape.
- 8. Beat the egg lightly with the milk to make an egg wash and brush the tops of the pastry with the mixture. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve piping hot.
