Pumpkin Pie Recipe
A holiday dessert treat, a tradition on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, is pumpikn pie.
The recipe is quite simple and is certain to please your family and friends.
1 lb. cooked pumkin (puree)
(fresh or canned))
2 large eggs, beat slightly
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 9" deep dish pie crust (bottom shell only)
(This usually comes in its own pie tin. You may make the crust, yourself, but this is easier)
Set pie crust aside, for now. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then pour into pie crust.
Pre-heat your oven AND a cookie sheet to 450 degrees, place pie on the cookie sheet and bake for approixmately 15 minutes, before reducing the oven heat to 350 degrees, then cook another 45 minutes. Remember: Oven temperatures vary, so keep checking. When you can insert a toothpick into the center of your pie and it comes out clean, its ready!
For a bit of a surprise, add a small bag of crushed pecans to your mix. Either way, when your pie has cooled, optionally serve with a dollup of whipped cream on top.
