T A S T Y T O P P I N G S F O R P U M P K I N P I E S ============================================================= Here are three excellent toppings for your pies. they are all designed for a 9-inch pie and work on any of the preceding recipes.

Make sure your pan is deep rather than shallow (some of the foil pans are too shallow) so there is room for the topping. S O U R C R E A M ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Absolutely my favorite, this reminds me of classic cheesecake topping. A cinch to make, pour it over your pumpkin pie just after baking. ¾ c Sour Cream 2 tb Granulated Sugar Combine sour cream and sugar; spread over hot, baked pie, leaving a ½-inch border around edges uncovered. Return to oven for about 7 minutes until just set. M E R I N G U E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If your pie fillingcalls for 3 or more eggs, just use the yolks and reserve the whites to make this topping. This goes over your hot baked pie, adding height and a great contrast in textures. 3 ea Egg Whites 1 ts Lemon Juice ½ c Granulated Sugar ½ ts Vanilla In bowl, beat egg whites and lemon juice until frothy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff but not dry. Beat in vanilla. Cover hot, baked pie with meringue, creating attractive peaks. Return to 375F oven for about 8 minutes or until topping is golden. S O U R C R E A M S P I D E R ' S W E B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Create this attractive, impressive design by incorporating it into the pie's unbaked filling ++ it cooks right in. 2 tb Sour Cream 2 tb Granulated Sugar Combine sour cream and sugar; place in small pipingbag with large round tip or plastic mustard/ketchup bottle. On unbaked pumpkin filling, pipe a spiral, starting at outer edge and finishing at center. Using small paring knife, draw shallow line through filling and topping from outer edge to center; repeat at 7 evenly-spaced intervals around pie.

Between each of the 8 lines draw another line from center to outer edge. This will create the spider web effect. Bake pie according to recipe. Source: Tasty Toppings As Easy As Pie in Food column by Marion Kane (food editor) in Toronto Star (4 October, 1995) Transcribed By: Sam Lefkowitz
