I was given this recipe over 30 years ago. Very versatile, the pumpkin pie is great for using leftovers from your Jack-o’-lanterns. You can even use sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin, if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mashed pumpkin or sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 2 slightly beaten eggs
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 (6 oz) can evaporated milk
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly mix pumpkin or sweet potato with the sugar, salt, and spices.
Step 2
Blend in eggs, milk, and evaporated milk.
Step 3
Pour into an unbaked pastry shell (crimp edges high).
Step 4
Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees for 50 minutes or an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool before serving.
