Mother's Pumpkin Pie.

Cook pumpkin in enough water to keep from burning. When tender drain off the water and cook for eight minutes longer. Press through a sieve and measure one and a half pints. Beat four eggs with one cupful of sugar till light, add one pint of milk, the pumpkin, one tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, half a teaspoonful each of ginger, allspice and grated nutmeg, one tablespoonful of brandy and mix well together. Line a deep pie plate with crust, fill with mixture and bake in a bot oven. A delicious flavor is given by cooking half of the sugar for the custard to a caramel.
