Method: 

Pre-heat oven to 425˚F.

Put eggs, pumpkin, sugar, salt, spice, butter, and evaporated milk (or eggnog) into a mixing bowl and stir until thoroughly blended. Pour into pie shell and place in oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350˚F and continue baking until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and decorate with pecans.

Cool. Serve with whipped cream (optional).

Note: Libby's canned pumpkin puree is just that pumpkin, check the label, 100% pumpkin. We have made pumpkin puree from scratch using sugar pumpkins and Libby's is just as good.
