    Since clowns are always getting hit in the face with custard type desserts…

    From: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook (Reader’s Digest Edition)

    PUMPKIN CUSTARD WITH SHERRY GINGER CREAM

    2 cups canned pumpkin
    1 cup packed light-brown sugar
    1 tablespoon flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon each ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg
    2 tablespoons butter
    1-1/2 cups milk (whole milk / 3% milk fat)
    4 eggs, slightly beaten
    1 cup heavy cream, whipped {also known as whipping cream (33 % milk fat cream)}
    1 tablespoon sherry
    1/4 cup chopped preserved ginger

    In saucepan mix first 7 ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes. Cool slightly; pour over eggs. Pour into well-buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole. Place in pan of hot water. Bake in moderate oven (350° F.) 1 hour, or until set. Combine remaining ingredients; serve on custard. Serves 6.

    Notes from me:

    Add the spices even if the canned pumkin says spiced.
    The cooking for 5 minutes starts when the pumpkin mixture reaches a boil. Bring it to a boil just below a red hot element then lower the heat a bit.
    Stirring constantly means just that. (Even while bringing to boil.)
    “Cool slightly” remove the saucepan from the burner, put a lid on it and let it sit on a cake rack for 20 minutes. Stir before pouring over eggs. (This is so the eggs don’t cook before the custard is put in the oven.)
    If a knife inserted in the centre of the custard comes out clean (It will be obvious if it’s not.) the custard is done. Check at the 1 hour mark and judge from there.

    thanks for the interesting recipe. I’ll use the squash from my garden and try it out for Thanksgiving.

    Yes. And that is why the pumpkins are sick and dying.
