Pawpaw Pie

[history]

I love pawpaws and have finally had enough fresh ones to think about using them in recipes. This is my first essay.

This is a work in progress. I'm still refining this recipe and, in fact, I haven't tried this latest version yet! Before proceeding, be sure to read my notes on the earlier versions. If you find ways to improve it, please share!

• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 eggs
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. ground ginger
• ¼ tsp. ground cardamom
• ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp. ground cloves
• 2 cups pawpaw pulp (peeled and seeded)
• 1 store-bought graham-cracker pie crust

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Place all ingredients into stew pan and stir together, cooking over medium heat until thickened.
3. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 400° until the crust is done.
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
