We've used the same pumpkin pie recipe for many years, but this year
decided to do something a little different. This pie was fantastic! We'll
probably repeat this as one of our Christmas pies.

Dark Spicy Pumpkin Pie

3 Eggs -- slightly beaten
16 ounces Libby's Solid Pack pumpkin
3/4 cup Dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Molasses
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 teaspoon Ground mixed spice*
13 ounces evaporated milk
1 (9 inch) pie shell -- unbaked

Preheat oven to 425F. Mix filling ingredients in order given. Pour into
pastry shell. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350F and
continue baking for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into center of pie
filling comes out clean. Cool. Top with whipped cream.

*Mixed Spice is available as a bottled spice blend in the UK. An excellent
equivalent can be made from the following:

1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Mace
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Cloves
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Coriander Seeds

Combine all spices in a spice mill and grind to a fine powder.
