Notes
Note: this recipe calls for the unflavoured pumpkin purée, not for the tinned pumpkin pie mixture that is already seasoned!
The recipe doesn’t call for nutmeg, but many people say they add a bit anyway.
1 ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves, however the taste will be slightly different.
Many people say the suggested baking time is never long enough.
Store baked pie refrigerated.
Regard raw eggs as you would raw meat: clean surfaces and hands after contact with them.
