My husband never liked pumpkin pie until he tasted mine. I don't know what makes mine so different but here is the recipe. White sugar may be used in place of honey.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 ¾ cups shortening

  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup ice water

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree

  • ¾ cup honey

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • ¼ cup honey

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. To Make Pastry: In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal.

  3. In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, 1 egg, and ice water. Pour into flour mixture and stir until dough forms a ball. Divide into 4 portions. Freeze 3 of them or use for other pies. Reserve one for Pilgrim Pumpkin Pie.

  4. To Make Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs, pumpkin, 3/4 cup honey or sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, cloves, and evaporated milk. Mix well.

  5. Roll out pastry and fit into a 9 inch pie plate. Pour in pumpkin filling.

  6. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake an additional 45 minutes, until filling is set.

  7. To Make Honey Ginger Cream: In a large bowl combine whipping cream, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger. Whip until soft peaks form. Chill 1 hour before serving. Place a spoonful on top of each slice of pie.
