1 ½ c mashed pumpkin*
¾ c sugar, half white, half brown
½ t salt
½ t 1 t ginger
1 to 1 ¼ t cinnamon
¼ to ½ t nutmeg
¼ to ½ t cloves
6 oz evaporated milk
3 eggs
Mix well. Fill 9” unbaked pie shell and bake at 400 for 50 minutes.
*To prepare pumpkin, break it into small pieces (about 1-2” chunks). Boil 7-10 minutes in water. Let drain in colander. Scoop pumpkin pulp away from skin and put in blender. Blend until smooth. Use 1 ½ c pumpkin for each pie. I can usually get 2 pies from a small pumpkin.
