JULIA CHILD'S AUNT HELEN'S FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE
This recipe was published in Parade in November 1982, when Julia Child was writing a recipe column for the magazine. As all cooks (and writers) know, Thanksgiving is an adventure and a challenge: how to come up with fresh ideas that keep the dish on the right side of tradition? In this pie, Mrs. Child's addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling. If you like your desserts on the spicy side, add an extra tablespoon of molasses and a pinch of black pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Separate eggs and set aside.
- Using a mixer, blender or large bowl, blend pumpkin, the 2 cups of the sugars, 1 teaspoon salt, molasses, bourbon or rum (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, egg yolks, cream and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is stiff: it should be a soft purée.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foaming. Whip in a pinch of salt, then gradually whip in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until shiny white peaks form. Beat 1/4 of the whites thoroughly into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the rest.
- Immediately ladle filling into the shells, filling to just below the rim of the pan. Place in oven and bake just until rim of crust begins to turn gold, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted into the filling 2 inches from the rim comes out clean. (The center should still be a bit wet; it will cook more as it cools.) If the rim of the crust starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.
- Immediately turn oven off, leave door ajar (stick in a wooden spoon to hold it open if necessary) and let sit 20 to 30 minutes more as the oven cools; this will prevent the filling from turning watery. Serve warm, or let cool, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let pie come to room temperature before serving.

AUNT HELEN'S OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH PEANUT BUTTER
This is real old fashioned fudge made by boiing sugar, milk, and chocolate to the softball stage. It's tricky, but once you get it you won't make fudge another way. It took me a long time to get this right and I learned some tricks along the way which I'm sharing here.

Steps:
- Butter 1 8x8 inch square glass pan and set aside.
- melt chocolate in milk using sturdy, heavy bottomed pan.
- Stir in salt and sugar with wooden spoon until just mixed.
- Cook the chocolate, milk, salt and sugar mixture on medium or a little less than medium heat until it reaches softball stage. DO NOT STIR and DO NOT SCRAPE THE SIDES OF THE PAN.
- Softball stage: You can use a candy thermometer. I find the thermometers unreliable, so I check the progress of the fudge by dropping a small amount in cold water. If I can easily make a soft ball of it with my fingers, it is ready. With one batch of fudge, this generally takes about 8 minutes or a little longer. Obviously if you double the batch it takes more time. However, don't just assume 8 minutes will work. Either use the softball test or a candy thermometer to make sure. What works on my stove may be different for yours.
- When fudge has reached softball stage, place in a sink partially filled with ice and water. Make sure there's not so much that it could seep into the pan. This is just to cool the pan.
- Stir in peanut butter and vanilla with a wooden spoon. Do not scrape the sides of the pan. Stir until the peanut butter is melted and the fudge begins to thicken and lose some of its gloss. Pour into prepared pan. Cool, slice, and enjoy.
- Don't skip the peanut butter. It gives it an amazing layer of flavor and also helps it set faster. I have only tried this with Jif so I can't guarantee any other peanut butter will be as good.

AUNT HELEN'S PECAN BALLS
Another childhood favorite from my Aunt Helen. I'm not sure how many pecan balls this recipe actually makes, I'm working off an old and yellowing piece of paper, it should make a fair amount though.

AUNT HELENS PECAN PIE
A little less sweet than some Pecan Pies (about half the sugar of most recipes I've seen). A family favorite. Update: My original copy of this says to bake for an additional 30-32 min. This hasn't been working for me lately so I increased it to 40-45 min. When finished the center should have a slight jiggle to it but the whole pie should not slosh. If any reviewer can give me an accurate time (I am admittedly pie challenged) I will edit the recipe to reflect that.

AUNT HELEN'S OPERA FUDGE
This is sort of a fru-fru fudge. I don't know if anyone makes it anymore, but my Aunt Helen did and I loved it. You will need a large candy-making marble slab or something similar that will stay cold.

Steps:
- Put cream and sugar in a large saucepan. Heat on medium to medium-high. Stir until it comes to a boil, then add cream of tartar. Using a candy thermometer, cook and stir constantly till it reaches 238 degrees F. Immediately pour onto a large, cooled marble candy-making slab (or something similar that will stay cold) until the mixture is cooled.
- Then mix well until it turns white and mounds. Cover with a damp cloth for 1/2 hour or so.
- Then knead it like bread until it's smooth. You can have it plain or add small bits of candied fruit and nuts, if you like, and knead into it.
- Roll it into a log on some waxed paper or plastic wrap, and keep refrigerated. Serve by slicing 1/4 inch slices off and serving on a pretty little plate.
