Cooking Our Way

1 deep dish 9” pie shell
4 eggs
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 ¾ c (15 oz. can mashed pumpkin
½ t. salt
1 ½ c. evaporated milk (12 oz. can)
1 t. cinnamon
½ t. ea. ginger and cloves

Combine sugar and spices.  Beat eggs in a large bowl.  Add sugar mixture, then pumpkin and milk.  Stir well. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake in pre-heated 425 degree oven 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 and bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on wire rack. (I find the crust browns better on the bottom if the pie is cooked on lower rack.)
