Grams' Pumpkin Pie

  I don't know what it is, but every year as the leaves begin to change colour everyone seems to go mad for pumpkin spice.  It's in your coffee, it's in your tea, it's in your cookies, candles, soap....I think I even saw it in dog cookies. (umm, why?)  There has to be a reason, so I thought it might be wise to address the root of the madness...the actual pumpkin pie.  The spices make the humble pumpkin sing and have thus proved that the mighty squash has more purpose than bearing a carved, crooked grin on October 31st.  This recipe is from my mother in law and has found a home in our recipe box.  Enjoy! 🎃.....sorry, 🥧
