Pumpkin Pie

by:




Pumpkin pie filling is a custard made with eggs and pumpkin puree. Here the puree is flavored with spices and given a luxurious texture with cream before it is baked in a prebaked pie or tart shell. If you keep in mind that one egg sets at least 2/5 cup puree when baked, its easy to use this recipe as a model for other custard pies made with other purees, such as squash puree or sweet potato puree. Savory versions, based on pureed spinach or mushrooms, are also made in the same way without, of course, the sugar and spices.
