These three heritage pumpkin pies are locally sourced from a Maine family of bakers who I met through the late Keith Boyle who passed this fall. I met him many years ago at the Portland farmers market when he was affiliated with Uncle’s Farm Stand owned by Mike Farwell.
The pies are from Keith’s mother, Patty Boyle, his grandmother Gladys Gilbert, who still lives in Rumford and his great granny, Oressa Kaulback.
Classic pumpkin pie
Differences in pumpkin pie are often sublte. Some variations include whipping the egg whites to a meringue to fold into the pumpkin puree or to use various additions like a touch of molasses or a few drops of sorghum as southern bakers use or in the list of spices.
