Preparation

Step 1

Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Add this to pumpkin. Beat eggs and add half and half. Add this mixture to the pumpkin mixture stirring well. Cook in a double boiler or over water until thickened and cooked. Mixture will turn a little darker in color and start to pull from the sides of boiler. Cool. When ready to serve, spoon into a baked pie shell and top with whipped cream. I have found this only makes enough filling for a 7" pie. I've just added more pumpkin and adjusted my spices accordingly for a 9" pie.
