Pumpkin Pie

So for this post I delved deep into my moms recipe box to find a good recipe for pumpkin pie. I found one from the oregonian, from the obituary section (if its there, it has to be good. Right?). So I made that pie for my dad. who loves it, and here is the recipe.

Special Seasoning
4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tbs ground allspice
2 tbs black pepper
2 tbs salt
1 tbs ground nutmeg
1 tbs cloves
1 tbs allspice
Mix everything together, and store in an airtight container

PUMPKIN PIE
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups canned pumpkin
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp special seasoning
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup half and half
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 9 inch unbaked pie shell

Mix together the eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, sugar and seasoning mix. In a saucepan, mic the evaporated milk, half and half and sugar; cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Add to the pumpkin mixture. Pour into pie shell and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes; lower heat to 350 degrees and cook for 25 minutes. Store in the refigirator.

This recipe turned out really good, and I still love a good pumpkin pie ( and I don't have to buy one at costco or anything). You should try this recipe or at least let me make you one.
