It is almost 40 years since I have made a pumpkin pie but last night, preparing party food for the family to watch Wrexham AFC on the telly, I had a stab.
Okay I cheated, the American way, using canned pumpkin. Instead of using maple syrup I used black treacle and it is that, rather than over-cooking, that caused the colouring.
My assistant cook, Joshua, and I agreed it was a triumph and so we will do two more ( one with treacle and one with maple syrup) for the looming bonfire night party.
