REAL PUMPKIN PIE
2 c. pumpkin, cut into half-inch pieces
1/4 cup liquid from cooked pumpkin
1 c. raisins, soaked in 1/4 cup dark rum
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tbsp. molasses
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

This recipe uses cubes of raw pumpkin rather than canned pumpkin. Winter squash may also be used.
In medium saucepan, add 1 tbsp. of butter and 1/2 cup water to pumpkin, and simmer over medium heat, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. Mash or puree pumpkin. Add raisins, rum, cooked pumpkin, and remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined.
Turn into pastry lined 9 in. pie plate. Flute edges. Set in preheated 400 degree oven. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 30 minutes longer

If you are starting from scratch, STEAM the pumpkin to cook it, then mash it with a potato masher, and place it in a strainer so it can drain thoroughly.
Bake a single flaky crust, until it is a just browned.
Beat two eggs with 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of brown sugar (depends on how much of a sweet tooth you have) and add a pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp each of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
Blend together and pour mixture into pie shell. Return to oven and bake for about 1/2 hour at 350 degrees, or until the filling is firm and shows cracks. Remove and cool. Top with gobs of whipped cream (real whipped cream, not that stuff out of a can) and enjoy.
Keep telling yourself, as you stow away the calories, that pumpkin is a healthy vegetable and this is really good for you. That entitles you to have a second piece....
Enjoy!

Best bet is to find a recipe on line that best suits your needs.
The most important part is the crust. Remember to follow the directions exactly as directed.
