    Pumpkin Pies are just about everyone's favorite pies around this time of year. Now you can make your own pie and brag about it. lol

  2. Step 2

    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 1/2 cups fresh Pumpkin Puree or canned
    3 large eggs, lightly beaten, plus
    1 egg for glaze
    1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
    1 tablespoon heavy cream

    (this is starting sound yummy)
    Make the glaze by Beating the remaining egg, and combine with heavy cream. Brush glaze very lightly on edges of pie shell. Fill pie shell with pumpkin mixture.
