Pumpkin Pasties...

Makes about 3 dozen miniature pasties.


2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1- 1 pound can pumpkin
(or 2 cups fresh, roasted in the oven then pressed
through a strainer to save your Pumpkin juice to drink!)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1 2/3 cups evap milk (1 can)
1/2 tsp allspice
9 oz pie crust pastry (enough for two single standard pie crusts).

Bake the pie filling only (no crust) in a large casserole dish in hot oven (425 degrees) for 15 minutes. Keep oven door closed and reduce temp to moderate (350 degrees F/180 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for 45 minutes or until table knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.


Make or purchase pie crust pastry. Roll thin and cut into circles approx 4" diameter. Put a spoonful of the cool pumpkin mixture towards one side of the center of the circle. Fold over the crust into a half- circle and firmly crimp the edges closed. Slice three small slits in the top for venting, place on a greased cookie sheet, and bake only until crust is light golden -brown. Great served at room temperature, Then you don't have to worry about your guests possibly burning their mouths from the steaming hot pumpkin inside.
