- This will make two pies…one for company and one to keep for yourself.
You will need:
- 4 eggs
- 1 can 796 ml pure pumpkin
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup rum (or add another 1/2 cup of the evaporated milk instead)
- 2 unbaked pie shells 9″
Beat eggs until light and frothy. Add all the ingredients and beat until smooth and well blended. Make sute you have anough pastry to cut out a heart and place in the center of the pies. Bake in a 425 oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife in the center to see if it comes out clean. Cool.
When ready to serve, add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
