The Pumpkin Pie Recipe I have been using to don our Thanksgiving Table with for the past 30 years.<\/p>\n

Pastry for 9″ One Crust Pie<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie Filling:
\n2 eggs
\n1 can (16 ounces) pumpkin or 2 cups Cooked Pumpkin (following)
\n3\/4 cup sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n3\/4 tsp nutmeg
\n1 tsp cinnamon
\n1\/2 tsp ginger
\n1\/4 tsp cloves
\n1 2\/3 cups evaporated milk (pretty much 1 can…I don’t even measure anymore)<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 425Fdegrees
\nPrepare pastry.
\nBeat eggs slightly in med bowl.
\nAdd remaining ingredients and whisk all together.
\nPlace pastry lined pie plate on oven rack; pour in filling.
\nBake 15 minutes.
\nReduce oven temp to 350Fdegrees.
\nBake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
\nCool
\nServe with Whipped Cream.<\/p>\n

Cooked Pumpkin:<\/strong>
\nHeat oven to 400Fdegrees
\nCut one small pumpkin (4 lbs) into halves; remove seeds and fiber. Place pumpkin cut sides up in oblong baking dish; pour water (1\/4″deep) into dish.
\nCover and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Scoop pumpkin from shells; mash until no lumps remain.
\nYield; About 4 cups mashed pumpkin<\/p>\n

Notes:
\nI am probably a lil more generous with the spices and of course I add vanilla. A splash of Vanilla makes the world a better place, I rkn!
\nYou can use two cups of mashed pumpkin this time round and freeze the rest so you don’t have to go through the whole making pumpkin mash next time around.<\/p>\n

I frequently use this recipe to make Pumpkin Tarts…heaps easier to transport and distribute tarts at large family gatherings!
\nI used puff pastry to line muffin tins and reduce baking time to 20 – 25 minutes.
\nOr, if in Canada, just use those lovely tart shells you can get at Real Canadian Superstore or SOF.
\nPut whipped cream in container, then load a large piping bag at the event and add a lovely whipped cream rosette just before serving<\/p>\n
