    Florence's Pumpkin Pie - Who's Florence?

    Published: Sep 11, 2015 · Updated: Sep 11, 2015 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    Florence's Pumpkin Pie

    Florence's Pumpkin Pie

    I am not sure who Florence is and the writer never says, but she must make good pie to have one named after her! This is a recipe on a sheet of recipes sent to me from an Amish woman in Pennsylvania name Edna Schrock.  I think what makes this pumpkin pie stand out is the addition of sorghum.  Sheesh, we are in pumpkin season, aren't we?  Pumpkin is found in everything for a few months after Labor Day.  Pumpkin pie is a cool, delicious, soothing treat, why do we only eat it on Thanksgiving?  Usually then I'm too stuffed to really enjoy it anyway.  But so few people seem to just whip up a pumpkin pie on any other day. That's too bad.  Try out this recipe!

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
