REAL Pumpkin Pie
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pie
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups cooked pumpkin, mashed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • Note: you may use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, cloves, allspice & ginger
  • ½ tsp salt (optional - I didn't use)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ cans (12 oz.) evaporated milk
  • Pie pastry - use store-bought or make your own!
Instructions
  1. Mix ingredients well using a hand blender or mixer.
  2. Pour mix into pie shells, about ½ inch from top. If soupy, don't worry - it will firm up during the baking process.
  3. Bake pie at 425 F for the first 15 minutes, then turn temperature down to 350 F and bake another 45 - 60 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean. For my convection oven, it's closer to 35 - 40 minutes.
  4. Enjoy warm or chilled, whipped cream or ice cream. Let your taste buds be the boss!
  5. FYI - The off coloring is condensation from my refrigerator and yes, it took me 3 knife stabs to be sure it was ready - but as this is my first pie -- I had to be certain!
