This is a pumpkin pie recipe that was recorded from Grandma Kosovich’s notes. I am not sure of the exact origin of this recipe. The last time I actually made a pumpkin pie with grandma in 2013, she insisted we simply “follow the recipe on the can” of pumpkin we purchased at the store. At that time, when it came to measuring the specific spices, she also told me to just put a bunch of pumpkin spice in the mixture as well.
So, I am not sure exactly what will come of the specific recipe below, but her handwritten note is available for download as well.
