Here’s my pie.<\/p>\n

I put an acorn crust around the edge.<\/p>\n

I painted the edge with egg white and cut the acorns out of pie dough with a tiny linzer cookie cutter.<\/p>\n

Sorry- I’m not a good photographer.<\/p>\n

But this pie is so good!<\/p>\n

I started with a pumpkin and baked it.  Then I cleaned it out and pureed it.  Then I put it into a fine colander I lined with cheese cloth and let most of the liquid drain off.<\/p>\n

I mixed it with 3\/4 cup sugar, 2 heaping tsps. of cinnamon, 1 1\/2 tsp of ginger, 1\/2 tsp nutmeg and 1\/2 tsp cardamom ( Good idea, Brydie!)<\/p>\n

Then I added two beaten eggs and 1 can of evaporated milk (NOT condensed. That would make it too sweet!)<\/p>\n

I poured it into the crust, covered the edges with aluminum foil and baked it at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes – then turned the oven down to 350 F and baked for another 55 minutes, taking the foil off in the last ten minutes of baking.<\/p>\n

Honestly- I don’t like most people’s pumpkin pies.  They are too sweet- or the spice is not right.  Sweet potato pies seem to have a lot more flavor and don’t need much sugar at all.  <\/p>\n

But if I’m going to eat a pumpkin pie-<\/p>\n

it’s going to be this one!<\/p>\n
