Recipe(tried): Amish Pumpkin Pie

Hi Vicky, We live in central Ohio in Farm country and there is a large Amish community in our area. Here are two amish pumpkin pie recipes. The Amish in our area have no electricity so most of them use wood cook stoves. I gave an Amish friend my chocolate chip cookie recipe and she made them in her wood stove and they turned out perfect just like in my electric oven.No cars, just horse and buggy. I am not sure if either one is the special one you are looking for. Good Luck in your search.
