How to Make Justin's Homemade Pumpkin Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut a sugar pumpkin (approximately 2 lbs) in half, removing seeds and stringy parts.
- Cut pumpkin into 1-inch chunks.
- Place pumpkin chunks in a large saucepan and add enough water to reach about 1 inch in depth.
- Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain the pumpkin, let it cool slightly, and peel off the skin.
- Strain the pumpkin pulp through cheesecloth to remove excess moisture, until it holds its shape like a dough.
- While pumpkin cooks, prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, forming a crust about ⅛ inch thick.
- Bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a blender, combine the strained pumpkin pulp, 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk, 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon orange extract. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the cooled crust.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 38-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
