“Back Porch” Ingredients

• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/2 t. cinnamon
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/4 t. ginger
• 1/8 t. cloves
• 3 large eggs
• 1 c. canned pumpkin
• 1 c. heavy cream
• 1/4 c. bourbon, rum, cognac, amaretto liquor, or brandy
• 2 9″ traditional (1 1/2″ deep) pie shell
• Whipped topping (optional)

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake pie crust for 10 minutes.  Tip:  Pricking the bottom of pie shell will keep crust from puffing up.  When done and slightly brown, remove from oven.  Turn oven up to 425 degrees.
• While pie crust is baking, prepare filling.  Combine dry ingredients.  Stir in beaten eggs and pumpkin.  Add heavy cream and liquor stirring well.
• Pour filling into baked pie crust and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes.  Pie is done when an inserted knife comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 hours.  Serve immediately or refrigerate.
• Garnish with whipped topping if desired.
