Ever since the recipe was placed in the newspaper it has become a family, neighbor, in-law .... favorite when pumpkin pies are in season! (COOKING TIP: I've found that if you chill the cream cheese layer for about 1/2 hour after you pour it you have less chance of ending up with a "marble style" pie.) INGREDIENTS: 1 (8oz) package cream cheese 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 egg 1 9 inch unbaked pastry shell 1 1/4 cups canned or cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ginger Dash of salt 1 cup evaporated (NOT SWEETENED CONDENSED) milk 2 eggs slightly beaten Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mixing until well blended. Add egg: mix well. Spread onto bottom of pastry shell. Combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Carefully pour over cream cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Cool. Brush with maple syrup and garnish with nuts, if desired. This pie tastes best chilled. enjoy -- Lisa DiVittore ~~~ Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please read the "Posting Guidelines" article.
