This pumpkin pie comes from the Beaumont collection as well, and it, too, makes you work for the authenticity you’ll get if you can pull it off. It calls for cooked, mashed pumpkin — not the stuff in the can — and instead of giving exact baking temperatures, it provides vagueness such as “moderate oven,” “lower fire,” and “slow oven.” If you’re a confident cook who’s up for an intermediate-level challenge, you’ll emerge with a quintessential old-world pumpkin pie.
