Family Favorite Pumpkin Pie

Submitted by FrVanilla

"I brought my grandpa a piece of store bought pumpkin pie when he was in the hospital and couldn't make it for Thanksgiving dinner. He told one of his visitor's, "You know she makes it from scratch!" I felt guilty, so at Christmas this is what I made. Now a family favorite. Use unspiced canned or fresh pumpkin. If using a frozen pie shell, follow directions on the box and let it sit on the counter for a couple of minutes before filling."

First time I made it the shell I used turned out bad, but the filling was delicious! My mom raved about how good this pie was. Since I had leftover ingredients, I'm making it again. =)
