Most people like a piece of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pies are one of the most simple pie to make. Any person can make a good pumpkin pie.
.

1/2 teaspoon salt.
2 cups cream.

1/3 teaspoon nutmeg.
1 9inch pie crust in a pie pan.

If you are using fresh pumpkin, take the part without the skin. The fastest way is to use can pumpkins.
If using raw pumpkin, you will need to steam the pumpkin first until it is soft.
Mash the cooked pumpkin (either can or cooked) with a blender or you do not have a blender use a masher.
Preheat the oven to 425-450 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and pour into the pie crust.
Bake the pie for 10 minutes, 30 seconds at 425 degrees. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees and cook for another 30 minutes until the filling sets. DONOT over cook.
Test the filling by sticking a knife in the center and it should be a little soft.
A pumpkin pie will shimmy a little while hot but will be stiff when it is cold.
