Notes
Note: this recipe calls for the unflavoured pumpkin purée, not for the tinned pumpkin pie mixture that is already seasoned!To make 2 pies, double the ingredients and use 2 pie shells. (This would use the full, large 800 ml can of pumpkin.)Many people say the suggested baking time is never long enough.Store refrigerated.Regard raw eggs as you would raw meat: clean surfaces and hands after contact with them.
