Pumpkin Pie

1.  Preheat oven to 375*F.  In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar and all spices.  Using a wire whisk, stir in eggs until almost combined.  Add half & half and stir briskly with the whisk until well combined.

2.  Pour into the pie shell and bake 45 -50 minutes, until edges are firm, and center is just slightly soft.  Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Note: If you choose to freeze pie before baking, place the raw, filled pie on a sheet tray, uncovered.  Place in freezer until firm, about 2-3 hours.  Wrap in plastic wrap and return to freezer for up to 3 months.

To bake, unwrap pie and place on a sheet tray.  Place in pre-heated oven and add about 20 - 25 minutes to the bake time stated above.
