Thanksgiving 2012 - Part V (Pumpkin Pie)

I'm jumping ahead a little here about Thanksgiving and addressing a pumpkin custard pie. I'll make another entry to discuss the turkey. The following is another family recipe that I got from Aunt Phyllis, who got it from my Great Grandma Eunice. I'll only pre-warn you that it is DELICIOUS and makes two 9" shallow pies or one heck of a deep dish one.

Ingredients

• 1 large can Libby's Pumpkin (29 oz)
• 1 can evaporated Carnation milk (12 oz)
• 1 can of water (12 oz, use milk can)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 7 eggs slightly beaten
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 nine inch pie shells, unbaked

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly 
2. Pour into pie shells
3. Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes
4. Set oven to 350 F and bake 45 - 55 minutes until toothpick is clean from center
