Ingredients

  • 1 sugar pumpkin, cooked and strained (The pumpkin should reduce to the 1/4 its original size uncut and feel almost like dough)
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 0.5 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 34 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 12 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 12 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 12 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 14 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 12 cups fine graham cracker crumbs (Grounded finely)
  • 13 cup white sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

  • Preheat over to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut Sugar pumpkin(Sugar pumpkins are the smaller/cute looking pumpkins) in half, scooping out the seeds and string like portions.
  • Cut the pumpkin into chunks.
  • Place chunks of pumpkins into a large saucepan and fill pan with water about 1 inch in depth.
  • Bring water to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain, cool, and remove the peel.
  • Next, strain the pumpkin pulp with cheesecloth, so that the pulp is dry enough to be held like dough.
  • (Remember that for one pie, half is all you need, but if you want to make two pies, use the whole pumpkin).
  • While the pumpkin is being cooked, prepare the crust by mixing together in a large bowl, graham cracker crumbs(a great way to finely grind the graham cracker is to put the crackers into a 1 gallon zip log bag and using the flat side of a tenderizer, simply bash the crackers in the bag), sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until well blended.
  • Press mixture into an 9 inch pie plate until the crust is about 1/8th of an inch in thickness.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 minutes, then cool.
  • (Repeat process for two pie crusts).
  • Preheat oven to 400 F (200 degrees C).
  • In a blender, mix together well strained pumpkin pulp with evaporated mild, condensed milk, eggs, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, all-spice, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and orange extract, until well blended.
  • Pour mix into crust(s).
  • Bake 38-40 minutes at 400F Let pie rest for about 30 minutes before servings.
  • Enjoy!
