Quince Brandy
Is there a specific cognac you would recommend for this? I don't know much about them...
Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed
I've been making Pam Anderson's recipe for silky pumpkin pie for about six years now. It's in her book CookSmart. There's no sugar added, but it uses both sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. You heat a can of pumpkin puree with spices, and whisk in a can each of evaporated milk and condensed milk. You add the heated pumpkin milk mix to two eggs plus two egg yolks in a blender - tempering, of course - and blend until smooth. The first couple of times I made it, I ended up with more filling than crust, but not quite enough for two pies, and I filled ramekins with the excess and baked them along side the pie in a water bath. I liked the little ones so much that the past few years, I've left the crust out entirely and baked a full pie in a ceramic tart pan along side four ramekins in a water bath. It's more of a pumpkin custard - wonderfully creamy and light.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Simply Recipes. About half of the "go-to" recipes in my kitchen binder are printed out from Elise's site. She's writes in a very simple, easy style, and her dishes are diverse, but grounded - she doesn't use a lot of hard-to-find or niche ingredients.
