Mom's Pie: Pumpkin

Makes 2 pies

This recipe comes from the Mayberry cookbook, based on the Andy Griffith Show. The cookbook is a favorite at the Detwiler house, and this pumpkin pie is a favorite too. So good you’ll be glad you made two.

6 eggs
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
4 cups pumpkin
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk

In a large bowl beat the eggs well. Add brown sugar and blend. In a separate bowl sift together the sugar, flour, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. Add the sugar and spices into the egg mixture. Blend together with pumpkin. Add milk and salt. Turn filling into pie shells. Bake in a 400 degree oven for a few minutes, reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake until a knife inserted comes out clean.
