PUMPKIN PIE

For this pie I used a commercial premade sweet pastry base . For the filling you will need 400 gm of cooked pumpkin puree and placed in a bowl along with 175gm of castor sugar ,1 tbs of cornflour ,1tbs of treacle , 1 dsp of ground mixed spice or you could use ground cinnamon,150 ml of cream and finally 3 eggs well beaten . Mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined . Pour this mixture into the pastry case , bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes . Turn off the heat and open the oven door and leave the pie in the oven for a further 15 minutes . The aromas from the pie are amazing . This pie can served warm or cold in small servings with cream . My sons' Scottish Granny ...Jessie Mersey used to make pumpkin pie and it was her eldest grandson Marc's favourite , Jessie always made her own pastry case ..
