"A recipe from one of my vintage cookbooks. I am fortunate to have a copy of the Blue Ribbon Cookbook dating back to the early 1900’s, a cookbook used by my grandma, my mom then passed to me many years back. We love pumpkin pie, this simple old fashioned recipe the one enjoyed and loved since childhood has also become the one favored by another generation. The recipe is a one crust and sufficient to fill 2 nine inch pie plates. Having made this recipe for many years I have tweaked the wording to make it easy to follow. Note, as with puddings for best results use full cream milk, may use whole milk if unavailable."

I had one homemade big pie crust in the freezer and and a deep dish pie plate, and made the full recipe. It filled the pie and had some left over and baked it in a bowl as a pudding. We so enjoyed this recipe! And I liked the technique. It was fun putting this pie together. So different as to how I make my own. Thank you for sharing Gerry! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
