  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (no spices added)
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Blend everything together. Pour into pie shell.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. I like my pumpkin pie cold, so after cooling, I refrigerate it overnight.
