And I can proudly say that there have been very few Thanksgivings or Christmases that this dessert has not graced my table. Here is: Pearl's Pumpkin Pie 1 1/2 cups (cooked) mashed pumpkin. 1 c. milk 1 c. sugar 2 eggs well beaten 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. allspice (ground) 1/4 tsp. ginger 1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1 tsp. vanilla 2 Tbsp. melted butter Mix together all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and heat on medium until hot - DO NOT BOIL. Pour into prepared shell and bake at 350 degrees until set (a knife inserted between the center and the edge comes out clean) 40-50 minutes. (Test after 35 minutes to assure that you don't over bake). I hope you enjoy this recipe and it becomes a family tradition at your house, too.

Then when cooled put pulp into blender and puree...fresh and delicious! Hi Phyllis,

We also gave instructions on how to make your own pumpkin puree, which I like to use in place of the canned pumpkin for any of the recipes.
