Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 unbaked (9 inch) pie crusts, chilled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 can (12 ounce) evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon mace (I use less)
  • 29 to 30 ounces pureed pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • Garnish
  • 6 pecans
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Step 2: In mixer (or by hand with a whisk), beat eggs, mix in sugar, milk and spices. Add pumpkin and orange juice and mix well.

  • Step 3: Pour filling into pie crusts, but don't overfill. You an bake any extra filling in a small Pyrex bowl at same time as pie.

  • Step 4: Garnish with walnuts and place in oven with a crust guard. (If using frozen crust, don't start with guard, peek around 30-35 minutes and add it then.

  • Step 5: Bake 40-45 minutes or until set. That means until there is no jiggle and knife comes out clean.

  • Step 6: Fresh Pumpkin: Bake or boil it until tender. If boiled, drain off water and cook on stove top, stirring often, to dry it a little before using in pie.
