Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cantaloupe
½ cup white sugar
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon butter flavored extract
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked

Steps:

  • Select a cantaloupe of good quality. Cut in half, remove seeds, and scoop pulp into a saucepan. Place pulp over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Mash the cantaloupe as it heats. This should make about 2 cups of pulp.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Add to heated cantaloupe and cook, stirring, until thick. The amount of flour seems large, but it takes considerable thickening to obtain correct consistency.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks; add water to yolks. Add a little of the cantaloupe mixture to egg yolks in order to heat yolks gradually. Stir egg yolks mixture into cantaloupe mixture. Continue cooking, stirring, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Add butter or margarine and flavoring to the cantaloupe mixture.
  • Pour into baked pie shell.
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until frothy. Continue beating, adding the 6 tablespoons sugar gradually; beat until thick peaks form. Top the pie with this meringue.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) until delicately brown on top.

CANTALOUPE PIE ALA TEXAS AND PACIFIC



Cantaloupe Pie Ala Texas and Pacific image

Recipe courtesy of: Dinner in the Diner - Great Railroad Recipes - T&P Railway was originally chartered by Congress in 1871 to establish rail service from Texas to San Diego. This pie was a signature dessert in their first class dining car. DH and I are avid railfans and his huge collection of models and memorabilia is all T&P badged. The original, ornate station in south Fort Worth was recently refurbished and sold as loft condominiums http://www.texasandpacificlofts.com - This has nothing to do with the recipe of course but is where we dream of living someday (after everyone else moves out and we have the whole building to ourselves, of course ;-)). I will make cantaloupe pies as I listen for the steam engines to come puffing up the tracks; a long wait for sure but hey, it is *my* dream!

CANTALOUPE PIE

Several years back, I was searching for a Cantaloupe Pie recipe to surprise my grandmother. Her mother made the pie all the time and as a young woman she remembers it being my Uncle Dennis' favorite pie. I requested the recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine and received over 600 responsed by mail! This pie isn't the same as my Grandmother remembered (we did find that one); However, was my favorite! A refreshing pie that's perfect to serve on a hot Texas summer night!
