This starts with a Calabasas pumpkin, you know the one that Disney used to as Cinderella’s carriage. It’s the squatty looking one. Cut it in half, cut side down in a pan with water and bake 90 minutes. When cool remove the seeds and scrap from the shell.  

For a pie: 

1-15 oz can evaporated milk

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 cups pumpkin

1/4 cup cream

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spuce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla  

Make in a food processor  

Pour into a prepared pie shell. Bake 1 hour 350 or until set.
