The recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with Ginger Snap Crust came from the side panel of a box of Nabisco Old Fashion Ginger Snaps. It must have been in the 1950s because my parents were married in 1948 and this is the pumpkin pie my dad made every year for Thanksgiving. It still is the only pumpkin pie I eat.

I’ve really enjoyed browsing through your vintage recipe collection. What a great website! :-)

I am looking for an old recipe, it is called Magic Mayonnaise, it has Eagle Brand Milk & Apple Cider Vinegar, & Dry Mustard in it, do you happen to have this recipe?
Thanks,
Wanda

My mother made this pie when I was young. It is the best pumpkin pie I have ever eaten. The difference in this one and the one my mother made is:
gelatin was softened in 1/4 c. milk, The pumpkin mixture was cooked over medim heat until it came to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. The ginger snaps were crushed and mixed with a little butter and formed to the pie pan.
This recipe seems to be so similar that these differences would probably make no difference to the outcome.

Thanks you so much for this!! I have a hard to read, abbreviated recipe from my mom who made this every year. I’ve made so many others but none have come out like hers … I think this is the one!!!
