A few weeks ago, daddy was desperate for a pumpkin pie. So, he gathered the children together and they had Kids and a Dad in the Kitchen time. We usually use the Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe, which can be found on their can and on this site.

Of course, we double the recipe. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp cloves

4 eggs

1 large can pumpkin puree

2 (12 oz) cans Evaporated Milk

2 unbaked pie crusts

First they mixed the sugar with the salt and spices.

Then it was time to help crack the eggs into our big bowl and beat them up.

They added the sugar spice mixture, the pumpkin, and the evaporated milk. Then they stirred.

It was then put in the pie plates that had been lined with the refrigerated pie crusts.

Directions:

1- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2- Mix sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl.

3- Beat eggs in a large bowl and add sugar/spice mixture, pumpkin, and evaporated milk.

4- Line pie plates with pie crust.

5- Pour pumpkin filling into pie crusts.

6- Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Check to see if it is done by using a knife inserted in the center. It should come out clean.
