One of the biggest reasons I do a weekly Tasty Tuesdays post is so that I add all our favorite recipes to one spot so that one day my kids will be able to easily access our family’s favorite recipes.
Sometimes, I forget to take pictures or I am someplace where I cannot take a picture. That is what happened to me this year. For my whole married life, I have made the desserts and breads for Thanksgiving dinner. This last year, we drove 8 hours to go spend Thanksgiving with some dear friends of ours. I waited until I was at their house Wednesday night to make the pies.
I also realized last week when I was doing the Tasty Tuesday post and sharing what I was going to make for Thanksgiving, that I had never shared our family’s recipes for Pumpkin Pie and for Pecan Pie. What is Thanksgiving without Pumpkin Pie?
Today, I decided good picture or not, I was going to share my Grandma’s recipe for Pumpkin Pie. This is the only picture I remembered to get.
I also made 3 other pies, three sweet breads, and some fun cookies for the kids.
Here’s my Grandma’s recipe for Pumpkin Pie.

- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 1 can solid pack pumpkin 15-16 oz. (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 c sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1 can evaporated milk 12-13 oz. (or 1 2/3 cup half and half)
-
Mix together all ingredients.
-
Pour into a large pie shell. I usually use a 9" deep pie plate.
-
Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 45 minutes until knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
