Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 1 pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 225g (8 oz) light brown soft sugar
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 350ml (12 fl oz) evaporated milk
- 1 recipe pastry for a 23cm single crust pie
Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 1 hour1.
Cut pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Place cut side down on a baking tray lined with lightly oiled aluminium foil. Bake at 160 C / Gas mark 3 for 30 to 40 minutes or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Mash or puree in small batches in a blender. Increase oven temperature to 230 C / Gas mark 8.
2.
In a large bowl, slightly beat eggs. Add brown sugar, flour, salt, 500g of the pumpkin puree, spices and evaporated milk. Stir well after each addition.
3.
Pour mixture into the unbaked pastry case. Place a strip of aluminium foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.
4.
Bake 10 minutes at 230 C / Gas mark 8, then reduce the oven temperature to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted near the centre comes out clean. Remove the strip of foil about 20 minutes before the pie is done so that the edge of the crust will be a light golden brown. Cool pie and refrigerate overnight for best flavour.

I made this using honey instead of sugar, and it was really delicious! I am very pleased with how it turned out, including the consistency. Great recipe

Moderately easy
I tried this out and it was my first time making pumpkin pie. I'd always heard about it on American films and in books but had no idea what it should taste like. I substituted the evaporated milk and sugar for 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk. Personally I didn't like this as I found the sludge-like texture quite nauseating. My husband, who lived in the US for 8 years, loved it. So did his parents. They said it was better than anything they had tasted in the states. God knows what they're eating over there!

BEAUTIFUL !!!! A really tasty pie even though I used dark brown sugar and ready made pastry cases it was just yummy. I was worried that the texture was to liquid but the filling firms up perfectly when cooked.

I made this at the weekend after finding a lovely pumpkin at the market. I always find working with pumpkin a bit difficult, so I made things easier on myself by cheating with frozen pastry from the shop. It was still brilliant and I'd make this again anytime when pumpkins are in season.
