PUMPKIN PIE (a Cornish recipe)

Take a ripe pumpkin, and chip off the rind or skin; halve it, and take out the seed and puffy part in the centre, which throw away. Cut the flesh into small thin slices; fill a pie-dish therewith; add to it half a tea-spoonful of pimento, and a table-spoonful of sugar, with a small quantity of water. Cover with a nice light paste, and bake in the ordinary way. Pumpkin pie is greatly improved by being eaten with clotted cream and sugar. An equal quantity of apples with the pumpkin will make a still more delicious pie.
