Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree
From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Beat in the eggs, then gradually stir in the evaporated milk until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool. Once cooled, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top in a festive Halloween design.
- Add generous dollops of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
