  Recipe provided by Susan T at GWRRA Home office.

    1 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 1/2 cups milk
    3 eggs separated
    1/2 Tsp salt
    1/4 Tsp ginger
    1 Tbs cornstarch
    1/2 Tsp cloves
    1 Tsp cinnamon
 

    Pastry for 9 inch pie
    Ingredients for 9 inch double custard pie or 2 pie shells

    2 1/4 cups flour
    2/3 cup shortening
    1/2 Tsp salt
    1/3 cup water

     Combine flour and salt in mixing bowl cut shortening into flour using pastry blender or 2 knives.
    Do not over mix. These are sufficient when all particles are the size of peas. Add water gradually sprinkling
    one tablespoon at a time, toss lightly with a fork, use only enough water to hold pastry together when it is
    pressed.
    Roll dough into two round balls of equal size, handling as little as possible. Roll the dough out on a lightly
    floured board or counter top to about 1/8 inch thickness and about 1 inch larger than the pie plate.
    To make pastry shells roll dough out as in the preceding recipe and place into a pie tin or pan and trim about
    1/2 inch bigger than the pan. Prick pastry with a fork around the bottom and sides to stop bubbles while
   baking.

   Boil pumpkin in a pot with about one inch of water until soft and crush with a colander and
   then strain and put back into pot. Add beaten egg yolks, sugar, salt,  cornstarch, and spices.
   Add milk and place on stove and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil about 2 minutes.
   Next whip egg whites vigorously until they start to turn stiff into filling. Fill the pie shell with
   pumpkin filling and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes and then continue baking at 350 degrees
   for the next 30 minutes. (Enjoy)
 

    1 Large package of vanilla instant pudding mix
    3 cups of milk (for mix)
    1 box of graham crackers
    1 container of chocolate icing

   Before making pudding, place icing in very warm water to make soft. Mix pudding. Before
   pudding starts to form, mix in container of Dream whip. Line casserole dish with 1 layer of
   crackers and pour 1/2  of mixture and smooth. Repeat with another layer of crackers and pour
   remainder of mixture and smooth. Put one final layer of crackers on top and take soft  chocolate
