How to Make Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Uses Fresh Pumpkin

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack to catch any spills.
Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with your favorite pie crust, crimping the edges decoratively.
In a large bowl, whisk together: 15 oz (425g) pumpkin puree, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp ground cloves, and ½ tsp salt.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (or skim milk), and 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream. Pour into the pumpkin mixture and stir gently until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thin.
Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. If you have extra filling, use a second pie plate, or a smaller pie plate, or save for later.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, loosely cover them with foil or a pie shield.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set completely. Serve chilled and enjoy!
