Layered Pumpkin Pie In A Jar Food

GRANDMA'S LAYERED CUSTARD PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Whip the egg whites until stiff and set aside.
• Combine pumpkin, flour, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and spices. Blend milk into this mixture adjusting the amount according to the size of the pie pan you are using. 1 c. is plenty for an 8-inch pie but you may need more for a 9-inch pie plate.
• Mix in egg whites carefully. The mixture should be thoroughly blended but no more. (I use a hand mixer.)
• Pour into a partially baked pie shell. Bake at 350˚F for 40-50 minutes. The pie should be set with the slightest jiggle when done. The top should be a deep golden brown. If cooked too long, the filling will pull away from the crust as it cools.
• Allow the pie to cool and refrigerate before serving. If the layers are distinct when you slice it, you did it right!

LAYERED PUMPKIN PIE IN A JAR

Steps:

• 1. PREPARATION Preheat oven to 350°. Place the mixing bowl and beater(s) for beating the cream into the freezer to chill. First prepare the graham cracker crust layer. Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Then add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Spread mixture in a 9 x 13 pan and bake for 5 minutes. Stir and bake for another minute or two, or until crumbs are fragrant and nicely browned. Be careful not to burn. Remove from oven and let cool completely while you prepare the other pie layers.
• 2. Now for the whippy cream cheese layer and the finishing dollop of sweetened whipped cream - my favorite part! Using your chilled bowl and beaters, whip the cream until stiff. Add the powdered sugar and beat just to combine. Remove sweetened whipped cream to another bowl and set it in the refrigerator. Add the cream cheese to the same chilled bowl and cream until very smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Blend in the vanilla. Now add half of the sweetened whipped cream back into the chilled bowl with the cream cheese, gently folding to thoroughly combine. This tastes awesome! Place this bowl of whippy cream cheese and the remaining half of the sweetened whipped cream back into the refrigerator to stay chilled. And the final layer, the pumpkin layer. Pour the milk into a large bowl. Add the pumpkin, pudding mixes, and spices. Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes, or until very well blended. The mixture should be quite thick.
• 3. Now it's time to layer the layers into the jars! Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip (I used Ateco No. 808) with the whippy cream cheese mixture. Pipe a layer of this mixture onto the bottom of a jar (I used 8-ounce wide mouth Mason jars), starting at the perimeter of the jar and working to the center. Lightly tap the jar on a towel (so jar doesn't break) on the counter, to settle the mixture in. Repeat this step with the rest of the jars. Sprinkle the whippy cream cheese layer with 2 tablespoons of baked graham cracker crumbs. Lightly tap the jar again to even out the crumbs. Repeat with the rest of the jars. Using the same large plain round tip, fill another pastry bag with the pumpkin pudding mixture. Pipe this mixture onto the graham cracker crust layer, in the same manner as the first whippy cream cheese layer. Lightly tap again and repeat with the rest of the jars.
• 4. Now you can simply add a dollop of the reserved sweetened whipped cream (without the added cream cheese) to the top of each pie with a spoon, or you can pipe a more refined swirl, like I did, using the same large plain round tip. Then finish with a sprinkling of graham cracker crust and chocolate shavings, if desired. If you plan to transport these jars with their lids screwed on, keep in mind the height of your top dollop, if you don't want it to get smooshed when you add the lid. These jars of pie can easily be made the day prior to serving. In fact, I think they taste best after being completely chilled overnight. Servings: 10 to 12 jars of pie, depending on how much you fill each jar

PIE-IN-A-JAR

Steps:

• Make the preferred pie crust recipe.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Using the ring from the jar lid, cut 8 circles from the dough, the circles will be the tops of your pies. Line each 1/2-pint glass, oven-safe jar with the remaining dough. Working with the dough as little as possible, make sure that the dough is pressed tightly against the entire surface area of the jar with the exception of 1/2-inch at the top.
• Once each jar is lined with pie dough, fill with 1/2 cup preferred pie filling.
• Top each pie with the pie dough circles or create a lattice pattern or crumb topping to go on top. Make sure you vent the top of the crust by creating a slit so that steam can escape. Using your fingers, or a fork, press the 2 pieces of dough together.
• Brush each pie crust with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Seal each jar with metal lid and place in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
• If baking pies fresh, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If baking pies that have been frozen, bring them to room temperature before placing in the oven
