Yesterday we walked to Safeway to get our pumpkins! Walking there and back, we earned those pumpkins and had some fun on the way! Then we had a whole afternoon of pumpkin investigation: we measured, counted, drew, wrote - all about pumpkins! The only thing we didn't do is eat pumpkin - if you get the chance in the next week try making a pumpkin pie:
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (15 oz.) Pumpkin
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) Evaporated Milk
- 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
- Whipped cream (optional)
MIX sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
POUR into pie shell.
BAKE in preheated 425° F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with whipped cream before serving.
Enjoy! And let me know how it comes out!
