RECIPE: Pumpkin Pie

Makes one 9" pie

3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
2 eggs
1 3/4 c. pumpkin (can be canned-- I use the real thing)

* If you want to use the real thing, cut the top off your pumpkin, gut it,
put the top back on, put it in the oven on 350 until the top caves in,
then, when its cool, scrape the pumpkin meat out for use-- freeze or can
the leftovers if you have any

1 1/2 c. evaporated milk (1, 12oz can)
1 pinch ground cloves or allspice (optional)

Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon & cloves or allspice in medium bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar/spice mixture. Pour into pie shel. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 and bake for about 40-50 minutes--(till knife comes out clean when poked into the center.)
