Pumpkin Pie
2C cooked pureed pumpkin meat
1/2 C Sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 C milk
1/2 C evaporated milk
1 - 9" unbaked pie shell
To cook fresh pumpkin: Cut in half, scoop the seeds out and place cut side down on a baking sheet with sides. Bake at 300 degrees for 1-3 hours (depending on size) until you can stick a fork in the meat easily. Allow to drain as they cool. When cool enough to touch scoop the meat into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
To Make Pie: Combine pumpkin, sugar, salt and spices. Blend in eggs, milk and evaporated milk. (Over-beating eggs will cause the pie to have a foamy skin on top.) Pour into pie shell. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean. Cool.
