Fun with Pumpkin Pie


My four-year-old decided we should make pumpkin pie.  Good idea.  The kids had fun scooping out the seeds and then we baked our pumpkin.  I wasn't too concerned about making a delicious pie, it was just a fun family activity.  Of course I didn't have any evaporated milk on hand, so I googled a recipe for pumpkin pie without evaporated milk (thanks to my husband for explaining to me how to search with a negative symbol.)  Guess what.  The pie was delicious!  So, I thought I'd share the recipe, because next time I make pumpkin pie, I'm going to use this recipe!

I didn't bother to fuss with the crust; I just let the kids make a pat-in-the-pan crust.  Our pumpkin made 2+ cups of pumpkin puree and I just used it all, even though it was a bit more than the recipe called for.  Also, the baking time was significantly increased from the recipes instructions, by perhaps 20 minutes.
