How to Make Cantaloupe Pie Ala Texas And Pacific
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Halve a ripe cantaloupe (about 4 cups cubed), remove seeds and rind, reserving all juices.
- Cut the cantaloupe flesh into small pieces (about 1 inch). Use a food mill or ricer to create a smooth purée.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cantaloupe purée, reserved juice (about ½ cup), and ½ cup of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the sugar-flour mixture into the hot cantaloupe mixture, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg until the butter is melted and incorporated.
- Let the filling cool completely before pouring into a 9-inch pre-baked pie crust.
- Optionally, top with your favorite meringue recipe and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and set.
