Pumpkin Pie Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of pumpkin purée (can or Fresh)
1 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs plus the yolk of a third egg
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest
1 good crust
Mix sugars, salt, and spices, and lemon zest in a large
bowl. Beat the eggs and add to the bowl. Stir in the pumpkin purée. Stir in cream.
Whisk all together until well incorporated.
Pour into pie shell and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. After
15 minutes reduce the temperature to 350°F and Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until
a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Note that the pumpkin pie
will come out of the oven all puffed up (from the leavening of the eggs), and
will deflate as it cools.
