Old
Fashioned Pumpkin Pie recipe:

Ingredients:

3/4
cup granulated sugar

1-1/2
cups (12 oz can) evaporated milk

1/2
tsp. salt

2
eggs

1-3/4
cups (15oz can) pure pumpkin filling

1
tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2
tsp. ground ginger

3/4
tsp. ground cloves

Tip:
You
can substitute pumpkin pie spice for all the individual spices.

Use
3 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice instead.

Preparation:
Combine
sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a small bowl. Beat the
eggs lightly in a separate large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and dry
mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

Press
a pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie crust and cook
according to directions on the package. Pour mixture into the pie
shell. Instead
of using a regular pie pan, you can also a Halloween themed pan such
as the Wilton Pumpkin cake pan shown above.

Baking:

Cook
in a pre-heated 425º F. oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the
temp to 350º and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife tip
inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean. Cool on a wire
rack or a cool counter top for 2 hours before serving. This also
gives it time to set up, so when you cut it and set it on a plate, it
will stay in one piece.

Storage
& Serving:

Store
in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Chilling will cause the crust to separate from the pie slightly but
it’s better then getting botulism. Top with a whipped cream and there
you have it! A classic pumpkin pie!

Homemade
whipped cream
1/2 pt. heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp.
sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Starting on medium speed, whip the
cream, vanilla and sugar with mixer. As the mixture begins to stiffen
increase speed to whip. Be careful not to over beat or it will get
too thick. Refrigerate in an air tight container.
