Easy Pumpkin Pie

Even though this pie is made from a real pumpkin, rather than pumpkin coming out of a can, it takes only a few minutes and is fun to prepare with children.

Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

2 cups fresh pumpkin
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk or cream
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
OR 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 9" pie crust

Instructions

Cut a small ("sugar pie") pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, etc., and place on a baking sheet cut side down.
Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour, or until soft when poked with a fork. Let cool.
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend to desired texture (or use a large bowl and mix with a mixer). Pour into a 9-inch pie pan lined with your favorite pie crust ( I use a frozen pre-prepared gluten-free crust)
Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour.
Let cool and enjoy.
