I love how this man looks me dead in the eyes as he just grabs two spoonfuls of pumpkin and calls it Exactly 1 cup. I love this channel and I will be trying this out.
When the measurements are missing, does it really matter? Besides, back then a cook was expected to know how to cook. Thus detailed instructions weren't necessary. So why sweat it on a youtube channel? Just cook the food and enjoy. And i agree, pumpkin pie should not be overly sweet. The pumpkin should be the star.
“How much molasses do we want…? I’m going to go with about a teaspoon and a half.” Pours in a half cup of molasses. “There we go…a teaspoon and a half…”. :)
My father in law's parents died when he was young. I had some 'antique' cookbooks with jams and canning, baking ect that were for wood fired ovens and cast iron pans that I gifted him. He was so happy that things tasted like his childhood and weren't 'fancy'.
I made this for Thanksgiving. I didn’t add nearly enough ginger, allspice, or molasses so it was pretty bland, but it definitely looked, smelled, and cut like a pumpkin pie. I’ll add much more flavorings next time and I’ll definitely make it again. Our house is from 1759 and I find it so cool that someone could’ve baked the same recipe 224 years ago in my house
Cheers to you! I did the same, and also underestimated the amount of spice required. I think Jon really may have put more than 1.5 tsp of molasses in there! We all still enjoyed, and I'm glad I made some whipped cream with maple syrup, which added that touch of sweetness everyone was looking for. Loved living this slice of history.
Molasses at the time was quite different than the baking molasses we get in stores now. I'd mix it half n half with blue label/dark Karo ---unless you have access to "table molasses"
The shine on the top is caused by the sugars in the molasses. This will also let you know when the pie is done. The molasses will start to get shiny around the edge first. When the center is shiny, it's done. You can also use maple syrup and get the same results. Scraps of pie dough can be rolled out and using a cookie cutter, be made into decorations for the top. During the last 12 to 15 minutes, place on cookie sheet, wash with egg and sprinkle with sanding or raw sugar. It's getting a sugar cookie with your pie.
That was ALOT of masses I had to watch that clip several times. Buahaha. Is it just me or is that beautiful stock footage of him pouring molasses? I swear he is using his other hand to pour.
No matter how stressed I get I can always count on your videos to completely mellow me out. The cheerful calming tone of voice, the amazingly calm background music, and lastly the beautiful setting is always enough to take me away to a different time. Truly from the bottom of my soul thank you for your videos.
Same same! It’s encouraged me as a young 20-something to take life one day at a time, and sometimes just one recipe at a time. I can’t explain how much my confidence has gone up since finding this channel. I used to think my friends would make fun of me for liking history as much as I do, but now, I just geek out on it all and don’t care if they do judge! This community is so amazing. I know John says that probably 5 times in each cooking episode but it’s soooo true! I’ve also really found joy in refining my cooking and baking skills! I used to worry I’d be that mom that would never be able to make more than spaghetti, but because of this channel, I can say I have so much more cooking and life-skills knowledge than I ever thought possible before! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Townsends for all y’all do! 💜
i think the part where only the cup with molasses is shown was filmed separately, just to show what molasses looks like, and to make it look aesthetically pleasing. bc after that it really shows him put in a very small amount...
I've been binge-watching another foodtuber lately (Max Miller's Tasting History) and he's mentioned Jon's love of nutmeg in like 3 separate videos. It goes without saying that, being a longtime fan of this channel, that made me laugh every time.
Except that Americans are obsessed with cinnamon and put it in about every other dish there is. Cinnamon was never in pumpkin pie and modernly it is the main spice. So I would say it has changed quite a bit considering cinnamon it's a very strong tasting spice.
man, I have had a rough week between school and other things going on in my life. love being able to sit down, relax and watch some good 18th century cooking. thank you.
It would be worth looking at trying a more refined molasses. Fancy grade molasses is lighter in colour and sweeter without the sulphur taste of boot strap molasses. Treacle would probably have been the molasses of choice in 1797. Love your videos and your courage to cook like a real person. Cheers from Vancouver and Happy American Thanksgiving.
@@bcostin Was sorghum syrup available in the 18th century? I don't think that it was widely available until the 1850s and '60s. Of course it IS available now and if anyone wanted to use it in their pumpkin pie, John is certainly not going to hunt them down and stop them.
As soon as he said, molasses, I knew it was what made that dark color. We always use molasses in our pumpkin pies. My great grandmother made it that way and she was born in 1898. It must have been in her family for years. We use 3 tbs for 1 deep dish pie. We also use cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. No allspice. We sprinkle cloves on top. It's so rich with a great robust flavor. I've never had any other pumpkin pie like it. I'm anxious to bake a few more this Thanksgiving. 😀
I should’ve waited to eat my slice of pumpkin pie so I can enjoy this recipe episode while savoring my slice. Well, that just means that I got to get another slice (or 3)! 😋
Ooooh pie crust is the best part of a pie. So I really enjoy the idea of having 7 different versions! Though my most favourite go to crust is your short crust recipe and it would be very hard to surpass
I've been looking for a "pumpkin custard" recipe so I could replace my old pumpkin pie recipe. I'm trying to do as little as industrial food products as possible (e.g. sweetened condensed milk in most pie recipes) and cook with only the things available to me through my local farms and CSA. I'm going to try this out and use up some of the maple sugar I have, along with some petimezi I made from my garden grapes to replace the molasses (petimezi=grape molasses). There's a great homestead producing small-batches of handmade maple sugar in the US!
I adore how sweet and kind this man always is. I've watched this channel for years and something about the genuine and passionate presentation has always reminded me of watching Bob Ross as a kid. Happy Thanksgiving, Townsend team.
My mom’s pumpkin pie recipe always grossed us out when we were kids, but I have never tasted anything close to as delicious as hers. It was a recipe handed down from her mother/grandmother in Bavaria. She would leave out our Halloween carved pumpkins in a cool corner of the house until they had a little white fuzzy mold inside. She then would trim off all the gross stuff and place the pumpkin in plastic tubs and leave inside the refrigerator for another day or so. Then the pumpkin flesh was very tender. From there it was more or less regular spices (fresh ground) and from scratch pie crust. That old world “aging” technique was unique and turned out unbelievably tasty every year. I wish I paid more attention to the exact process.
My late Mother’s recipe for PP calls for 2T molasses! It’s from canned Krogers pumpkin from the 1940’s. It’s our Family Standard pie recipe. THE BEST! ❤️❤️❤️
Ginger is the most important spice for anything orange - pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, orange peppers, oranges, peaches, apricot, cape gooseberries, mango etc.
Nah, I used to make mango cobbler all the time when I lived in SE Asia, for a taste of home cause I couldn’t get apples or peaches cheaply, and only put nutmeg and my normal equal parts sugar, butter, milk, flour. No ginger needed, what was I gonna do, put whole slivers of fresh ginger in?
Had a good butternut squash harvest this season, - with some of the butternut squashes coming out in the shape of pumpkins!!! Don't ask me - I used seed from the same singular butternut from last year, cut it open, took out the seeds and planted them all directly, and some came out looking like light orange pumpkins - so I'll be making my own "pumpkin" pie with butternut squash that thinks it's a pumpkin tomorrow, using this recipe but very light on the molasses. Thank you, Jon Townsend!!! Always a happy end to the day.. Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm making mine from Seminole squash and Candy Roaster squash this year. Good crop this time. Great video and excellent recipe. Baking the pumpkin sure beats trying to peel one. Thank you and have a joyous Thanksgiving.
Question #1: Does the rest of the family help eat up the food you cook for the show? Question #2: Have you ever considered changing the show's name to Townsend and Nutmeg?
I know right? What are the odds of a pumpkin pie video appearing just after Halloween and right before thanksgiving, and then for you to be dealing with your Halloween pumpkin right NOW of all times…… it’s inconceivable!!! 😂
I just made this recipe yesterday out of one of our old small Halloween pumpkins unopened yet. I made it yesterday for a practice run and found it a little stringy but the flavor was amazing. I have another one in the oven right now much more finely mashed, it's definitely going to be one of the Staples of our yearly traditions. Also I have to say you are definitely right the nutmeg was a for sure win!
Right before you cooked it it looked like gypsy tart we had when I grew up in Kent and now I have the biggest craving. Interesting video, pumpkin pie is not something we eat in England but I made it once and love the spice combo
Pumpkin pie is a fall/winter staple here. This recipe is remarkably similar to the one we use. We grow pie pumpkins every year and find that a good pie pumpkin has a fair amount of sweetness, much more so than from a can. We use sorghum instead of molasses, about 1/2 cup, and a dash of bourbon if we have any. And the crust is always made with lard (from our own pigs) and a little butter too. I like the look of the thick crust.
I have a recipe to pass on to all of you! It's been in my stepmother's family for ages and it's the easiest, best cranberry sauce! 1 12 oz package cranberries 1 navel orange 1 cup sugar (or to taste) Grind the orange and cranberries together and stir in the sugar. Can be made several days in advance. That's it! Enjoy it! Edit: tradition dictates that it be made by the youngest person in the house.
Thank you for sharing! When it says grind the orange and cranberries, I assume the orange is peeled? And how are the orange and cranberries ground? Thanks again!
That's the exact recipe for my grandma's cranberry relish. We make a batch to serve with our Thanksgiving turkey every year. Grandma used an old hand-crank food grinder to make it. We use our food processor. It's always a hit with guests.
Nutmeg -The deniable spice... You heard it here first! Seriously, as a Brit, I've always been a little underwhelmed by pumpkin pie but I'll be giving this version a try. With the secret ingredient... Thanks for the idea. Serious question: No blind baking?
Great episode!! I like the way these old recipes are usually so simple, just simple food for normal everyday people. So cool that this recipe has changed so little over the years.
My Dear Mr. Townsends, As I was making my pumpkin butter, I realized that my recipe did not include any nutmeg! I was curious as to how it would taste if I added some nutmeg. I was informed by my family that it was the best pumpkin butter that I have ever made. I have now corrected my recipe to include nutmeg. I thank you for putting the idea into my mind.
I really enjoyed this one! Pumpkin pie is one of my favorites, but I'm not huge on sweets so I think this might be just right for me. I do wish the music wasn't so much louder than Jon's voice though haha! Very interesting content as always.
White sugar is in every recipe for pumpkin pie I've ever used. I just add a teaspoon or two of molasses. Wish I could have tasted yours. Seems like a vegetable side dish, but good.
I love how this man looks me dead in the eyes as he just grabs two spoonfuls of pumpkin and calls it Exactly 1 cup. I love this channel and I will be trying this out.

@@tableandlegs Quite possibly, dear sir, quite possibly! ^-^
I tip my (non existent hat) to you!
“How much molasses do we want…? I’m going to go with about a teaspoon and a half.”

I thought that was so funny. 🥧
Yes that looked more like 1/3 to 1/2 cup!
@@ElizabethBattle so funny, I love how he just dead-panned it ;)
@@susanapplegate9758 I know!😅
Great I put in a half cup ! Guess we will see
Love these old recipes. I have a 1910 Gold Metal Flour cookbook that belonged to my great grandmother

The shine on the top is caused by the sugars in the molasses. This will also let you know when the pie is done. The molasses will start to get shiny around the edge first. When the center is shiny, it's done. You can also use maple syrup and get the same results.
Scraps of pie dough can be rolled out and using a cookie cutter, be made into decorations for the top. During the last 12 to 15 minutes, place on cookie sheet, wash with egg and sprinkle with sanding or raw sugar. It's getting a sugar cookie with your pie.
Jon was really channeling his "one shot of whiskey" girl energy with that teaspoon and a half of molasses.
That's how I measure my whiskey, anyway haha
''Two shots of vodka...'' *glug glug glug glug*

The amount of molasses Jon put in has the same energy as the Sandra Lee “two shots of vodka” clip where she pours half the bottle in
Or like Julia Child saying a glug or two of wine or brandy and then the alcohol just keeps pouring lol "Okay, that was about two cups there 🥴"
Lmao I was just thinking the same thing 🤣
LOL

My favorite video on the internet
If I were to characterize John Townsend as "The 18th century version of Mr. Rogers, but for grownups", would you understand what I was trying to mean?
I would say he's more like Bob Ross.
"The recipe doesn't call for nutmeg, but we won't tell anyone."
Oh heck yes. Thanks, Townsends!
That marbled bowl is something else. Love it.
I also thought that bowl was amazing!
he's also a potter - I'll bet he made it
Another episode of John's Nutmeg Addiction, loving it!
The Nutmeg Show, with Jon Townsend
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721@volvok epic 😂😂

My kind of recipe! No faffing about.
Lol basically
"That is *exactly* a cup."
🤣 Glad to see you measure as precisely as I do! That pie looks delicious!!
Love this show. John is so confident without being cocky. It's very relaxing in a crazy world.
That’s so neat! This pie has literally not changed in hundreds of years and that’s so so amazing!

@@dietrevich very true XD
Pumpkin is such an underrated ingredient.
Pumpkin soup is fab!
Also pumpkin curry!
its almost the same as butternut squash, im sure you could switch the two and not tell the difference.
Or, if Jon... Pumpkin and such is an ingredient
Pumpkin pasta sauce is delicious

I use Brer Rabbit molasses exclusively. It has a delightful flavor
Maybe in more affluent homes, but likely not in the poorer sections of town.
Or sorghum syrup in some parts.
Boot strap?
@@bcostin Was sorghum syrup available in the 18th century? I don't think that it was widely available until the 1850s and '60s. Of course it IS available now and if anyone wanted to use it in their pumpkin pie, John is certainly not going to hunt them down and stop them.
I really enjoyed this episode. Pumpkin pie hasn't changed much.
Other than the spices it looked very close to what my mother made.
YES! Always bake the pumpkin. Pumpkin Pie is my favorite
I’ve been boiling my pumpkin all this time, and now, I’ll never boil another pumpkin again!
This is the definition of comfort content. Can never get enough of it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all that love this wonderful channel ❤
Thank you Jason, and a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😊

Ginger is the most important spice for anything orange - pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, orange peppers, oranges, peaches, apricot, cape gooseberries, mango etc.
I just tried a mulled wine recipe adding ginger and it was awesome! Such an underused spice.

Great video! Thanks
That was a TEASPOON of molasses? Looked more .like a soup ladle to me 😜
I'm thinking black strap not sorghum. And I'm curious of using a lot more than he did of the lightest molasses.
It was a THREESPOON
About 1/4 cup😉
This explains why Americans are not great fans of tea.
That cut away was a different shot, he didnt pour all that in the pie.
That is the thickest pie crust I have ever seen!
When you have liquid custardy fillings it's better to have a thicker crust to prevent a soggy bottom.
Pumpkin pie is a fall/winter staple here. This recipe is remarkably similar to the one we use. We grow pie pumpkins every year and find that a good pie pumpkin has a fair amount of sweetness, much more so than from a can.

Looks like good eating with out All the corn syrups. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and your family and friends
I will be making this on Thanksgiving! I love using that cookbook....
Thank you , appreciate your posts , especially in this time. You are a bright spot in the media cesspool.
Love your videos. What a breath of fresh air.
OMG the lighting for the tasting at the end, with the candles and the soft light through the window... perfect
I think I'm going to have to make this pie tomorrow for Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for this I am loving as program
Beautiful presentation. One of the most valuable channels on youtube.
Great episode!! I like the way these old recipes are usually so simple, just simple food for normal everyday people. So cool that this recipe has changed so little over the years.
Great recipe, I will have to get that cookbook. I enjoyed this video, thanks!
Wonderful wholesome content. Thank you good sir.
Mr. Townsend, it is a pleasure to watch your cooking videos. They are an inspiration to make 18th century recipes.
Thank you and happy Thanksgiving!
Wonderful recipe! Very tasty and affordable. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂
Great videos...I've been watching them for several years and I enjoy them very much!
i dont know how i stumbled onto this channel, but i have, and ive watched, and i loved and im here to stay
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you at Townsend’s. This is the perfect recipe for this season.
My Dear Mr. Townsends,
As I was making my pumpkin butter, I realized that my recipe did not include any nutmeg! I was curious as to how it would taste if I added some nutmeg. I was informed by my family that it was the best pumpkin butter that I have ever made. I have now corrected my recipe to include nutmeg. I thank you for putting the idea into my mind.
i love these cooking videos
Happy Thanksgiving to you and thank you for all the wonderful videos and your cheerful kind spirit. 🦃
I can't thank you enough for all the amazing quality work y'all do! This is my all time favorite!! Thank you so much!!
I really enjoyed this one! Pumpkin pie is one of my favorites, but I'm not huge on sweets so I think this might be just right for me. I do wish the music wasn't so much louder than Jon's voice though haha! Very interesting content as always.
White sugar is in every recipe for pumpkin pie I've ever used. I just add a teaspoon or two of molasses. Wish I could have tasted yours. Seems like a vegetable side dish, but good.
I always bake my pumpkins for pies, retains way more flavor and like you said, far less water which you don't want in your pumpkin filling.
John had me dying with these measurements 😂
