Anita, rumor had it that the delicious H&H pumpkin pie actually used hubbard squash instead of pumpkins.

Whatever they used, it worked.

I've not heard that Jim. The NYC public library had an automat exhibit and gave out copies of the pumpkin pie recipe. Here it is. I might attempt it for Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin pie from Horn & Hardart

2 cups cooked pumpkin (mashed)

3/4 tbsp salt

1 can (14 ½ fluid ounces) evaporated milk

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp butter, melted

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Heat oven to 425 F.

Beat all ingredients together with a rotary beater or wire whisk. Pour into a pastry-lined 9-inch pan.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes. Insert a silver knife into the filling about one inch from the side of the pan. If the knife comes out clean, the filling is done. Serves 4
