  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves (See note)

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry
  • whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

Note: Substitute 1-3/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; the taste will be slightly different.

1 _ Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2 _ Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in small bowl.

3 _ Beat eggs in large bowl.

4 _ Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture.

5 _ Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

6 _ Pour mixture into pie shell.

7 _ Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

8 _ Reduce temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

9 _ Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.

10 _ Cool on wire rack for 2 hours.

11 _ Serve immediately or refrigerate.


12 _ Top with whipped cream before serving for best results!

13 _ Do not overcook; overcooking leads to pie cracking in the middle.

14 _ Try to bake the day you will serve the pie. Cooking in advance can make the crust soggy. If you have to bake a day before serving, pop the pie in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes and it should bring the crust back to life!
