PUMPKIN PIE

PUMPKIN PIE

From Judi Troyer

1 can (16 oz.) pumpkin

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 t. salt

1 t. ground cinnamon

1/2 t. ground ginger

1/4 t. ground cloves

1 2/3 cup evaporated milk

2 frozen pie crusts 9"

Preheat oven to 425.  

Beat eggs slightly with hand beater; beat in remaining ingredients. 

Place pie shells on a cookie sheet, in case of a spill--that will protect the bottom of your oven).  

Pour mixture in pie shells.

Bake 15 minutes.

Then reduce oven temp to 350. Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes longer--keep watching it near the end of the cooking time and checking it for being done).

Cool.*

Serve with sweetened whipped cream, if desired. (Yes, please!!)

*I think the flavor is better if put in the refrigerator and eaten the next day instead of eating it the day I made it. Or, make it early, refrigerate, and eat several hours later.
