Prepare Filling: In a large non-metal bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Add Pumpkin and Spices: Incorporate the pumpkin mush into the egg mixture, stirring until smooth. Then add in the cinnamon, ginger, clove, and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Mix in Evaporated Milk: Gradually pour in the evaporated milk, stirring continuously until the filling is creamy and well blended.
-
Fill Pie Shell: Pour the prepared pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a uniform texture.
-
Bake: Place the filled pie shell in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (230°C). After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 50 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pumpkin pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the pie to set properly and enhances its flavors.
Pumpkin Mush Preparation:
-
Prepare Pumpkin: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.

Bake Pumpkin: Prick the pumpkin halves with a fork and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very soft and tender.
-
Scoop Out Flesh: Once baked, allow the pumpkin to cool slightly before scooping out the flesh from the skin. Discard the skin and transfer the pumpkin flesh to a bowl.
-
Mash or Puree: Mash the cooked pumpkin flesh using a potato masher or puree it in a blender or food processor until smooth. This pumpkin mush can then be used in various recipes, including the pumpkin pie filling.
