A delightful homemade pumpkin pie with a rich blend of spices and a creamy texture, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your pie.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, and eggs.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to the bowl and mix well.
Taste the mixture to adjust the sweetness or spice levels if needed.
Pour the filling into the pre-made pie crust placed in a pie dish.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills during baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the pie halfway through baking to ensure the crust doesn't overbrown; cover edges with foil if needed.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
Cooling helps the filling set properly, making it easier to slice.
