Pumpkin Pie Recipe circa 1937

I make this classic every single year. 

Old Time recipes have a certain essence to them that somehow makes them taste better- at least this is my experience. This goes back to a simpler time. 

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup cream 
• 1 (9") deep dish unbaked

1. Stir eggs and sugar together.
2. Stir in pumpkin.
3. Add salt and spices and stir until well mixed.
4. Add water to evaporated milk and stir in slowly.
5. Next, slowly stir in cream until all is smooth.
6. Pour into an unbaked pie crust.
7. Bake in a preheated 425F. oven for 15 minutes.
8. Turn down heat to 325F. and bake another 40-50 minutes until the center is firm or a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for a couple of hours before serving.
10. Refrigerate leftovers.
