2 c Cooked carrots, mashed
1 c Sugar
2 Eggs, beaten
1 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Milk
1 ts Nutmeg
1 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground ginger
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1 tb Butter, melted
Unbaked deep 9″ pie shell
Pumpkins don’t grow well in most parts of Alaska, but carrots do!
Mix all ingredients together until very well blended. Pour into an unbaked
deep dish or 2 smaller pie shells. Bake at 425 F for 40 to 50 minutes or
until a knife inserted one inch from the edge comes out clean. Center will
look soft but filling will set as it cools.
