Pumpkin Pie

Classic pumpkin pie, made a bit better with a touch more spice and a bit of molasses. I like to roast my own pumpkin for it, but a good quality canned pumpkin will do (do not use pumpkin pie filling, which is already spiced, sometimes quite horribly). You may also substitute cooked sweet potatoes, any of the orange-fleshed winter squashes (butternut, hubbard, etc) for the pumpkin.
Yield 6 servings

2 cups cooked or canned pumpkin (do not use canned pumpkin pie filling)
