Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups homemade pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 pie crust uncooked

Method
 

Pumpkin Puree
  1. Make your own pumpkin puree by cutting the top off pie pumpkins then cutting them half.
  2. Remove all the seeds and place flat side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 40 minutes and 350° or until you can pierce the skin with a fork.
  3. Then scoop the insides into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  4. I always like to line a mesh colander with coffee filters and allow the pumpkin puree to drain a little bit.
Making the pie
  1. This part is really easy. Just mix all the ingredients (except the pie crust) together. Then dump into the pie crust and bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350° (keep the pie in the oven) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes or until center of pie is "jiggly" not "wiggly".
  2. Keep an eye on the crust, and if you need to place aluminum foil around the entire edge to keep it from burning.
