JULIA CHILD'S AUNT HELEN'S FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE
This recipe was published in Parade in November 1982, when Julia Child was writing a recipe column for the magazine. As all cooks (and writers) know, Thanksgiving is an adventure and a challenge: how to come up with fresh ideas that keep the dish on the right side of tradition? In this pie, Mrs. Child's addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling. If you like your desserts on the spicy side, add an extra tablespoon of molasses and a pinch of black pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Separate eggs and set aside.
- Using a mixer, blender or large bowl, blend pumpkin, the 2 cups of the sugars, 1 teaspoon salt, molasses, bourbon or rum (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, egg yolks, cream and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is stiff: it should be a soft purée.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foaming. Whip in a pinch of salt, then gradually whip in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until shiny white peaks form. Beat 1/4 of the whites thoroughly into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the rest.
- Immediately ladle filling into the shells, filling to just below the rim of the pan. Place in oven and bake just until rim of crust begins to turn gold, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted into the filling 2 inches from the rim comes out clean. (The center should still be a bit wet; it will cook more as it cools.) If the rim of the crust starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.
- Immediately turn oven off, leave door ajar (stick in a wooden spoon to hold it open if necessary) and let sit 20 to 30 minutes more as the oven cools; this will prevent the filling from turning watery. Serve warm, or let cool, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let pie come to room temperature before serving.

FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE
I found this recipe ages ago in our local newspaper. There is enough filling for 2, 9-inch pies or one 11-inch pie. Line the pie plate with your best pie dough. Make a strong, fluted rim that extends about 1/2-inch above the rim of the dish. Do not prick the bottom of the pastry.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 450 degrees.
- Blend together the first 13 ingredients.
- Beat the egg whites until slightly foaming.
- Beat in a pinch of salt and continue beating to form soft peaks.
- Beat in the sugar and continue beating to make stiff, shining peaks.
- Beat 1/4 of the whites into the pumpkin mixture and delicately fold in the remainder.
- At once, ladle the mixture into the pie shell(s) filling only to the rim of the pan.
- Immediately, bake the pie(s) in the middle level of the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- When rim of crust colors lightly, reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake 15 minutes more - lower heat if pastry browns to much.
- Lower heat again to 350 degrees and continue baking another 15 minutes or so, until the filling 2 inches from the edge of the pie is done (when you insert a skewer it will come out clean).
- Turn off the oven, leave door ajar and let pie sit for 20-30 minutes more.
- Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
