Fresh Pumpkin Pie

Total Time1 hour 30 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 6

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate

Ingredients

  • 1 medium pie pumpkin
  • 9 inch pastry for single-crust pie
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

  • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Scrub the pumpkin with a clean vegetable brush under cold running water.
  • Cut pumpkin in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place cut side down in a microwave-safe dish; add 1 inch of water. Cover and microwave on high for 15-18 minutes or until very tender.
  • Meanwhile, roll out pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim the pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; flute edges. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Drain water off the pumpkin. When cool enough to handle, scoop out pulp and mash. Set aside1 3/4 cups (save remaining pumpkin for another use).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves; beat until smooth. Gradually beat in milk. Pour filling into the crust.
  • Bake pie for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F; bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-50 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent over-browning if necessary.
  • Remove pie from the oven. Cool on a wire rack. Cool pie, and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.
  • If desired, pipe whipped cream around the edge of the pie using a star tip or serve whipped cream with a pie slice.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.
