Heyer wrote mysteries too.

They are an interesting look into that time in British history.

Now in the spirit of those novels....

The English Pumpkin Pie

2 cups roasted pumpkin

1 cup condensed milk

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup sugar (optional. add if you like a sweeter pie. I leave it out and it is just fine)

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon ginger (Or quarter cup crystallized ginger chopped really fine)

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Two eggs

Toss it all into your blender and let 'er rip.

When it is smooth pour into your shell (slightly pre-baked) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Start checking at 35 minute to see if it is done.

I could make your pie because yum.

But I can’t read those Georgette Heyers. I get mom’s ready for her each night and every book, every page, is the same. Lord Fauntely could not allow his true feelings for her to be known. He strode away purposefully, his cheeks crimson. Miss Lilybeth lowered her sumptuous lashes and rushed to the stable gate. “Oh my dear Lord, I don’t know when Mama and I have enjoyed such a lovely evening! Please do not hesitate to return when Captain James allows!” Etc.
