Katie's Grandmother's Pumpkin Pie

Pie made from real pumpkins!

Ingredients
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. each of nutmeg, cloves, and ginger
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. cooked and mashed pumpkin
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 T. molasses
1 unbaked pie crust (can buy a frozen one at the Co-op)

Pumpkin Preparation
Put the whole pumpkin in the oven, and bake at 350 for an hour. Remove, cut in half, removed the seeds, scoop out the pumpkin meat, and puree in a food processor. It’s pretty important to puree it well for baking recipes.  Cooking with the seeds improves the flavor, and makes it easier to cut the pumpkin. 

Pie Preparation
Mix sugar and spices. Add other ingredients and mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, reduce oven to 350 for 30 minutes. The pie is done when a knife in the center comes out clean.
