Crystal Clear Pumpkin Pie Is A Fall Favorite

Pastry chef Simon Davies of the Chicago tasting restaurant Alinea did a brilliant clear spin on the traditional treat of pumpkin pie. The end result is a Crystal Clear Pumpkin Pie which is an amazingly gorgeous sight to behold. He didn’t give out the complete recipe but, Davies replied to a comment questioning the ingredients.

We by no means are trying to re-create a classic. It’s just our way of having some fun (clearly our ideas of what is fun differ). These are the ingredients: pumpkins from and organic farm 20 miles outside of Chicago, cinnamon, clove, ginger powder, those ingredients are distilled (Wikipedia is a great source to read about what distillation is if you need to), AP flour, butter, water, heavy cream, Tahitian vanilla, sugar and salt.

Pumpkin pie for the fall menu. #surrealism
