The Pilgrim Father's Original Pumpkin Pie Norfolk Million Pie Recipe

Step back in time and bake this historically accurate pumpkin pie! Based on a 15th/16th-century Norfolk, England recipe (where 'million' meant pumpkin, squash, or marrow), this pie is a delicious glimpse into the past. Unlike modern American pumpkin pie, this version uses fresh pumpkin (or marrow/squash) for a unique, subtly spiced flavor profile. Imagine the Pilgrim Fathers enjoying this very recipe at their first Thanksgiving – now you can too! This recipe offers a fascinating blend of history and culinary delight.
