This is the best recipe for Pumpkin Pie ever. It comes from my Great-Grandmother Rose Hobson, who I miss (she passed away years ago).
Pumpkin Pie
Mix 2/3 C. brown sugar, 1 T. cornstarch, 1/2 T. salt, 1/8 tsp. each: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Add this to 1-1/2 C. pumpkin. Beat 2 eggs and add 1 C. half and half. Add this mixture to the pumpkin mixture stirring well (I actually like to blend mine in the mixer). Cook in a double boiler or over water until thickened and cooked. Mixture will turn a little darker in color and start to pull from the sides of boiler. Cool. When ready to serve, spoon into a baked pie shell and top with whipped cream. I have found this only makes enough filling for a 7" pie. I've just added more pumpkin and adjusted my spices accordingly for a 9" pie.
