Pumpkin Pie

 Now I think everyone will agree with me when I say that no holiday season, whether  Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas, can go without a Pumpkin Pie! I’m not that big of a pumpkin person, but I LOVE homemade pumpkin pie! It makes the season special! :)

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked pumpkin  ( I try to use fresh pumpkin but you can use  canned if needed)

2 eggs slightly beaten

¾ c sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

1 can  Evaporated Milk

1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell- Deep Dish

First, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Mix the filling ingredients together in the order listed above (pumpkin > eggs > sugar > salt > cinnamon > ginger > ground cloves > evaporated milk). 

Pour into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes more or until pie looks done.   Test with a dry knife.  When removed it should come out dry, not covers in pie filling.

Enjoy your holidays!
