Thanks Wolflady! I can almost smell the pumpkin pie from here! I remember when my former colleague brought it in. We were all 'oh yeah, pumpkins in pie, what IS this woman thinking?' Then it was the most beautiful tasting pie in the whole world!
Isn't it just the best??!! Pumpkin Pie is a Fall season staple for me

I have to tell ya, I couldn't wait to try that pumpkin soup that you posted...so we made it this weekend for our pumpkin day!!! OMG! It was sooooooo good!! I just love soup and this was a very tasty recipe! Thanks for posting that! I'll have to try the other one now!

Here is the recipe for Pumpkin Pie:

one 10-inch pie shell, unbaked
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 plus cups pumpkin, cooked
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger (some like more, some like less...I usually use 2tsp)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I use 1/2)
1/4 teaspoon cloves (optional)
1/4 teaspoon allspice (optional)
2 ounces dark molasses (optional)
1 cup milk, scaled
1 small can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
3 eggs, beaten

Brush the pie shell with melted butter then refrigerate.

Cook the pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, spices, and molasses in a saucepan over moderate heat until thick, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the two kinds of milk and the eggs, and cook over low heat for another 5 minutes. Pour into a pie shell, and bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F, and then at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!
