*This recipe calls for a pre -baked pie shell but if you prefer your own, by all means, use it!
One can of (15 ounces) 100% pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ging er
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Two large eggs, plus two egg yolks
1 cup canned, evaporated milk
One can of (14 o unces) sweetened condensed milk
9-inch pie shell, baked
Adjust oven rack to lower -middle position and heat oven to 300 -degrees. In a saucepan, heat pumpkin, salt
and spices to blend flavors, about five minutes. Add milks; cook until heated through. Pur ee eggs and yolks
in a blender. With the blender running, add pumpkin filling – a spoonful at a time at first, then more quickl y as
the eggs heat up. Blend to form a silky texture. Pour warm filling into pre -baked pie shell. Bake until a thin -
bladed knife inserted near the center of the pie comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let
cool in a wire rack.
