Okay, I know I am a little late for this year's holiday dinners but here is our favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe. It is a big hit in my extended family and a friend has asked for the recipe so here it is:

Pumpkin Walnut Pie

1 9-inch pastry shell
1/2-1 c. chopped walnuts(depeding on your taste for nuts)
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1 (15oz) can pumpkin
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
2 eggs
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. ground ginger

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small bowl, combine nuts, sugar & 1/2 t. cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over bottom of pastry shell. In large bowl, combine pumpkin, sweet cond. milk, eggs, remaining 1 t. cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, & ginger; mix well. pour filling over nut mixture in pastry shell. Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking 35 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Cool. Enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers.
