Pumpkin Pie

Brenda's favorite pie as a child was always pumpkin pie.  No matter what the occasion, she always wants a homemade pumpkin pie.  I don't think she has ever had a pumpkin pie at a restaurant or store bought that she really liked.  So here is her simple homemade pumpkin pie recipe.  This is the only way she like pumpkin pie.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• Dash of allspice
• 2 large eggs
• 1 - 15 oz can pumpkin puree
• 1 - 12 oz can evaporated milk
• 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust (this is our favorite pie crust recipe)

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice in a small bowl.  
• In separate large bowl beat eggs with a fork.  Add pumpkin, and sugar mixture to eggs and mix with fork until smooth.
