Make pumpkin puree Cook the pumpkin until soft. Puree pumpkin. (See Pumpkin Puree.) In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin with brown sugar, flour, salt, and spices. Stir until smooth. Add evaporated milk and a slightly beaten egg. Pour into prepared 9" pie crust. Bake at 375°F for 50-55 minutes or until the center is just set. Tip: As it bakes, if you jiggle the pie plate, the center will first slosh like liquid, then it will jiggle like jell-o. When it's done, the center will still be soft but not wiggly.
