Pumpkin Pie or Sweet Potato Pie

I was given this recipe over 30 years ago. Very versatile, the pumpkin pie is great for using leftovers from your Jack-o’-lanterns. You can even use sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin, if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups mashed pumpkin or sweet potatoes
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 2 slightly beaten eggs
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 1 (6 oz) can evaporated milk
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
