Here is a delicious, different pumpkin pie. We both like it. I have taken it to different Thanksgiving gatherings and it has been well liked.

From:Farm Journal’s Complete Pie cookbook (One of the first cookbooks I got as a newlywed, through a cookbook club.)

Pumpkin-Mincemeat Pie


Unbaked 9"pie shell
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. canned or cooked pumpkin
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. cloves
3/4 c. undiluted evaporated milk
2. c. prepared mincemeat (I use the brand with rum/brandy in it)

Combine and blend together eggs, pumpkin, sugar, salt, spices and evaporated (not
condensed) milk.

Pour mincemeat into bottom of pie shell, spreading evenly. Spoon pumpkin mixture over mincemeat layer.

Bake in hot oven (400 degrees F) 45-50 min. or til knife inserted halfway between edge and center of pie comes out clean.
