Directions:
The secret to this pie is to use fresh cooked light colored pumpkin. Line a metal pan with foil. Place whole, washed pumpkin in pan and bake @ 350º for approximately 1-2 hours. The pumpkin will collapse in center when done. Let cool. Cut open and scoop out the seeds. Scoop out the meaty part and mash well, sometimes put it in a food processor. It does not need to be stringy.

Mix sugar, flour and all dry ingredients (spices) together in a bowl . In another bowl mix pumpkin and half and half. Add slightly beaten eggs to pumpkin mixture. Stir in dry ingredients. Bake @ 400º for 50 minutes or until set.
