How to Make Real Pumpkin Pie From Scratch Easy

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Wash and halve a medium-sized sugar pumpkin (about 3 pounds).
  3. Scoop out seeds and stringy pulp.
  4. Pierce the pumpkin flesh several times with a fork.
  5. Place pumpkin halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  6. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the flesh.
  8. Let the pumpkin cool slightly.
  9. Scoop out the roasted pumpkin flesh and puree using a hand blender or food processor until smooth (approximately 2 cups puree).
  10. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt for 3 minutes.
  11. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  12. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
  13. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
  15. Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
