Pumpkin Pie

by Beth | Nov 11, 2020 | Recipes | 0 comments

My aunt Priscilla was about 7 years older than me and 15 years younger than my father and lived close by. So, she became more of a sister to me than an aunt. When I got married, she gifted me with a recipe box with some of her standard recipes. This one has certainly passed the test of time at our house.

I do have to admit that in the fall I roast a couple of pumpkins to eat and free for later, so my love for this pie probably hinges in part on the "fresh" roasted pumpkin instead of the canned stuff. However, either one works.

 Top it with whipped cream. So, so good.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Calories: 300

Ingredients
  

  • 1 uncooked pie crust
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Eagle Brand)
  • 2 cups of pumpkin (canned or in my case my own baked pumpkin)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. Partially bake crust (10 minutes)
  3. Blend all other ingredients in a large bowl. Turn into crust
  4. Bake at 375F for 50-55 minutes until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool. Note: I'm generous in measuring the spices. I also cook my own pumpkin.

Notes

  • Note: I'm generous in measuring the spices. I also cook my own pumpkin. And I didn't count the cook time for the pie crust. It's not strictly necessary, but I think it works best to do it.
