Pumpkin fest

my pumpkin pie (a small test before the real one)
Steam cut pumpkins till soft. remove the skin and you get your pumpkin puree.

Things You'll Need
1/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. evaporated milk
2 c. pumpkin puree
Instructions
STEP 1: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (175 C).
STEP 2: Put eggs into a food processor or large mixing bowl and whisk well.
STEP 3: Add pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt, and mix. Set aside.
STEP 4: Make your pumpkin crust or buy one crust. (just buy vegetable shortening and the instructions are there. If you are lazy, buy premade ones)
Step 5: Pour the pumpkin filling into the warmed pie crust and bake about 35 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set but still a bit quivery, like gelatin, when lightly nudged.
STEP 6: Cool pie on a rack and refrigerate. Serve either cold, at room temperature or slightly warmed.
Additions: pecan nuts go well with pumpkins (you can stuff pecan nuts onto your crust, if u are making them. it tastes .. DELICIOUS... mmmmmmmmmmm
