Stove Top Pumpkin Pie

from the kitchen of Nola
 I haven't made this myself.  I think this is like my Aunt Thelma’s recipe
                                I found the recipe in a Old Fashioned Betty Crocker cookbook.

1 Baked Pie Shell for 9-inch Pie
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 can (16 ounces) pumpkin (2 cups)
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

Prepare Baked Pie Shell. Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, salt and spices in
3-quart saucepan until well blended. Stir in eggs, pumpkin and evaporated
milk until well blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Cool 5 minutes.

 Pour into pie shell. Refrigerate 3 hours before cutting.

Spread top of pie with sweetened whipped cream if
desired. Refrigerate any remaining pie immediately.

A nice change from the usual pumpkin recipe, this
 is really a custard pie. The technique for preparing
this pie solves the soggy crust problem: The
custard is poured into the crust after it is baked.
Use pastry trimmings to bake pumpkin shapes for
decorating the top of the pie along with rosettes of
whipped cream. Squash pies were the invention of
American colonists
