Pumpkin Pie

  • 1 medium pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • whipped cream, for serving

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  2. Cut pumpkin in quarters, and remove seeds. Lightly oil the cut surface. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
  3. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Pass through a ricer and then puree in a food processor until completely smooth.
  4. Pepare the crust and line a pie plate.  Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  5. In large bowl, blend together 2 cups pumpkin puree, spices, and salt. Beat in eggs, honey, sugar, milk, and cream. Pour filling into pie shell.
  6. Bake for 50, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge of pie comes out clean. If the crust is getting too brown you can cover the edge with snippets of foil for the last 20 minutes.
  7. Cool on a wire rack.
  8. Serve gently heated with whipped cream.
