Blood orange and dark rum make this festive pie shine.
Once you have tasted this version of pumpkin pie there is no going back. I have made it for years with small adjustments and feel it is perfect. This recipe is inspired by Tarte de Potiron from Richard Olney’s Provence the Beautiful Cookbook. Already mediterranean, I “made it Sicilian” by using olive oil in place of the butter, blood orange zest for the orange zest, and reducing the sugar. Rather than the typical pumpkin spices the flavor and fragrance is contributed by dark rum, orange flower water, lemon zest, blood orange zest, and toasted almonds. I have brought it to many holiday gatherings and it always creates a sensation.
Makes: One 9 inch pie
Difficulty: Easy
9 inch (23 cm) uncooked pie shell
4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
16 oz (454 mg) pumpkin or butternut squash purée
3 eggs
1 tablespoon (15 ml) orange blossom water
3 tablespoons (45 ml) dark rum
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one blood orange
1/4 cup (2 oz/63 g) granulated sugar
1 handful of toasted almonds coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350º F (177º C)
In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, olive oil, orange blossom water, rum, grated zests, pumpkin purée, almonds, and sugar. Pour it into the pie shell. Place in the oven and bake until a strand of dry spaghetti inserted in the middle comes out dry, about 45 minutes.
Wishing you many pleasant holidays. Buon Appetito!
