Pumpkin Pie with Rum Makes: 8 servings Active time: 30 minutes Total: 1 hour 10 minutes Equipment: 9-inch deep-dish pie pan Heart Health Diabetes Weight Loss Gluten Free Dark molasses and dark rum put this pumpkin pie a cut above the rest. Nonfat evaporated milk, which stands in for heavy cream, does a fantastic job of cutting the fat in the filling. Add to that our blue ribbon butter-canola crust and you’ve dropped three-quarters of the fat and more than half the calories found in most similar pies. Don’t use pumpkin-pie mix—buy canned pumpkin without added spices: the flavor will be superior. Crust 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoons canola oil 1-2 tablespoons ice water Filling 2 large eggs 1 15- or 16-ounce can plain pumpkin puree 1 12-ounce can nonfat evaporated milk 1/4 cup dark molasses 3 tablespoons dark rum or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 1. To prepare crust: Stir all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter turns a nutty brown, 30 seconds to 4 minutes, depending on your stove. Pour into a small bowl and let cool. Stir in oil. Slowly stir the butter-oil mixture into the flour mixture with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually stir in enough ice water so the dough holds together. Press the dough into a flattened disk. 2. Place two overlapping lengths of plastic wrap on a work surface. Set the dough in the center and cover with two more sheets of plastic wrap. Roll the dough into a 13-inch circle. Remove the top sheets and invert the dough into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Remove the remaining wrap. Fold the edges under at the rim and crimp. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the filling. 3. To prepare filling & bake pie: Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Lightly whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin, evaporated milk, molasses and rum (or vanilla). Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl. Rub through a sieve into the pumpkin mixture and whisk until incorporated.

4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake the pie until the filling has set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes; cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly. Cool on a wire rack.
