Pumpkin Pie, Good Enough to Make You Cry

This pie is so yummy.  Its cold and rainy here, hardly springtime.  I think I'll make another pumpkin pie from that Chersonskya Squash.


Pumpkin Pie from Scratch
Ingredients:

• 2 eggs 
• 1 egg yolk 
• 1/2 c. dark brown sugar 
• 1/2 c. white sugar 
• 1/2 t. salt 
• 2 t. cinnamon 
• 1 t. ginger 
• 1/4 t. cardamon 
• 1/4 t. cloves 
• 1/4 t. nutmeg 
• 1 t. vanilla 
• 2 c. pureed pumpkin/squash 
• 1 1/2 c. heavy cream 
• single unbaked pie crust 

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 
2. Beat eggs in a mixer.  Add sugars and continue to beat.  
3. Add salt and spices and beat.  
4. Add vanilla and beat. 
5. Spoon pumpkin/squash puree into the above mixture and pour in milk.  
6. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are combined. 
7. Pour into an unbaked pie shell.

9. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 45-55 minutes.  To test for doneness, insert a knife near the middle of the pie, if it comes out clean, your pie is finished! 
10. Cool on a rack for 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream.
