Great Great Grandma Andrew's Carrot Pie image

This is an old family recipe brought from England by my great great grandmother Eliza Griffin Andrews. You can make this all year long since carrots are in grocery stores and are inexpensive. In olden days people made this pie as a replacement for: sweet potato, squash and pumpkin because carrots matured earlier than the other...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large carrots (cooked and pureed)
3 large eggs (beaten well)
2 1/4 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each: ground allspice, ground cloves, ground ginger, ground nutmeg
1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon (or to taste)
1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
PIE CRUST

Steps:

  • 1. Combine carrots, eggs, milk, brown sugar and seasonings in mixer bowl. Beat 3 minutes. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for 35 more minutes. It is done when a clean, dry knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 2. This is similar to a pumpkin pie... but not quite. *** Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil, this helps prevent the crust from getting too dark.
