Perfect Pumpkin Pie Filling

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kimberly_Edwards]Kimberly Edwards

Pumpkin pie just goes naturally with the holidays... It is as important at a Holiday feast as the turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy! This is an adaptation of my mother's fool-proof recipe. Delicious after a Holiday feast, and especially delicious when you sneak a piece for breakfast the next morning.

It is delectable, but not too rich. It will even leave you room for your lemon meringue pie! :D

We often use our pumpkin we canned from Halloween, but no problem to use store-bought pumpkin in a pinch...

This recipe works well for pie and tarts...Just delicious!
