Pumpkin Pie

So I haven't been cooking too much lately. With the baby penguin taking up time and my oldest penguin looking at every thing I've made (or even just the ingredients) and yelling "Yucky!" I have had little inclination to cook. But it's Thanksgiving time and my favorite pie recipe was needing to be shared. That and my mom can't find her copy of this recipe and called me to email it to her, so I had to type it up anyway.


4 eggs slightly beaten
1 29 oz of pumpkin
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
1 c heavy whipping cream
1/2 c light whipping cream
1 1/2 c sour cream


Whip creams together until slightly thickened. In another bowl combine eggs, pumpkin, sugar and spices. Mix in cream mixture. Pour into unbaked pie crust and cook at 425 for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and cook for 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on rack. Make two pies-one large and one small.


You can use any crust recipe for this pie. I have a good one I'll try to post later. I hear a penguin crying, so I must run.
