Recipe Introduction


This pie will take a while to make. I Use the pumpkins from halloween and freeze it, then I already have the pumpkin ready for the holiday pies.





List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 Cups pumpkin
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 cup milk (for sweeter pie use condensedmilk)
  
• 1 cup brown or white sugar
  
• 3/8 t. salt
  
• 3/8 t. ginger
  
• 3/8 t. nutmeg
  
• 1-1/2 t. cinnamon
  
• 1/4 t. ground cloves
  






Instructions



1. TO PREPARE PUMPKIN: Use any firm pumpkin flesh scraped from your pumpkin. Don't use the skin or seeds. Boil until soft (like you would potatoes). Drain and mash. Firmly pack pumpkin when measuring, being sure to drain off any excess liquid.
   
2. TO PREPARE PIE CRUST: Evenly brush sides, then bottom of graham cracker crust with 1 beaten egg yolk. Bake crust for 5 minutes at 375 degrees and remove from oven. (put the leftover egg white plus any leftover egg yolk into pumpkin pie filling).
   
3. TO PREPARE PIE FILLING: Combine pumpkin, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves in blender or mixer. Blend until smooth. Pour into prepared crust and bake a 375 degree for 65 minutes.
   
4. Use aluminum foil around the edge of the pie to keep from burning.
