Pumpkin (Or Squash!) Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) pie shells (see my pat-in-the-pan crust, a good and easy pie crust recipe)

2 2 cups canned pumpkin or 2 cups squash puree
1 1/2 cups light cream (OR 3/4 c milk and 3/4 heavy cream) or 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk (OR 3/4 c milk and 3/4 heavy cream)
1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or 1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 deg F.
Whisk eggs; add rest of ingredients.
Warm pie crust in oven until hot to touch, letting custard stand at room temperature.
Pour mixture into crust and bake till center of filling seems set but quivery, like gelatin, when the pan is nudged, 35-45 minutes.
