This was the first pumpkin pie I ever made and my favorite still today. It tastes very good made fresh. I remember my father-n-law telling me how good it was. He wasn't suppose to eat anything sweet but naturally he did have a piece of it. I'm sure many people already have this recipe but I thought I would add it to my recipes here at Pat's Pink Apron.

You will need:
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
