1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin or 2 cups 35 % fresh cream, cooked
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mace or allspice
1/3 teaspoon cloves, ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 unbaked pie shell (9-inch)
3 eggs, separated


Mix pumpkin, sugar, spices and salt together. When using fresh pumpkin I use blender.
Add milk and egg yolks. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until firm.
Fold into pumpkin mix and pour into pie shell.
Bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
I use the blender for all mixing.

The best one is on the pumpkin pie can. . honestly it is. . . just add a tad bit more cinnamon and nutmeg. Of course, mace too. It's great.

I always use Pillsbury pie crust in the dairy section, and use the second crust to cut out leaves, egg wash them and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, bake separately and place on top of pie when done. Adds a good touch.

The number one place for excellent cooks to find great vegetable recipes to make from scratch is in the "VICTORY GARDEN COOKBOOK".

Best produce cookbook I have ever used. It'll make you love every vegetable that exists.

Otherwise, the back of the can of Libby's pumpkin has the best recipe. You can also get the recipe from libby's website.
