Tips & Warnings

• For high altitude baking (6,000 feet and above), extend the second bake time to 55 to 60 minutes.

• You can also make your own pumpkin puree. (See "How to Make Pumpkin Puree.")

• To make your own pie crust, see "How to Make Piecrust Dough."

• For a low-fat dessert, bake the pumpkin custard without the crust using a buttered ramekin or souffle dish.

• Do not freeze the pie, as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.
