- Make pastry - roll out and line a 9-inch pie pan, fitting well into angles.
- Trim off with scissors 1/2-inch beyond pan rim; turn overhang under so fold is even with pan rim.

- Chill in refrigerator for 30 minute.
- Turn pumpkin into a 3-qt saucepan, place over direct heat and cook and stir until dried out and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from heat, but keep hot.
- Mix the sugar, salt and spices well, then stir into the hot pumpkin thoroughly.
- Beat eggs slightly, add cream and milk, then add to the pumpkin mixture and stir until thoroughly blended.
- Pour immediately into pastry-lined pan.
- Bake 25 to 30 min or until pastry is golden brown and only an inch circle in the middle of the filling remains soft. It will set later.
- Place on cake rack to cool to lukewarm before cutting.
