Ingredients

2 large eggs plus the yolk of a third egg

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

2 cups pumpkin pulp purée from a sugar pumpkin* OR 1 15-ounce can of pumpkin purée

1 1/2 cup heavy cream or one 12 oz. can of evaporated milk

1 good crust

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the brown sugar, white sugar, salt, spices—cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, cardamom, and lemon zest.

Mix in the pumpkin purée. Stir in the cream. Beat together until everything is well mixed.

Pour the filling into an uncooked chilled or frozen pie shell. Bake at a high temperature of 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then after 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes more. The pie is done when a knife tip inserted in the center comes out wet but relatively clean. The center should be just barely jiggly. , and will deflate as it cools. Serve with whipped cream.
