This is a very old pumpkin pie recipe that my Aunt Willie would make. She always used fresh pumpkin and cooked on top of the stove. I use canned pumpkin and it is still the best pumpkin pie I've ever had. She made the best pies and cakes...I just wish that I had payed more attention when I was younger.
