Low Sugar, Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling

Few foods are as quintessentially American food as pumpkin pie.  This healthy dessert is ideal for fall and comes from the 1918 cookbook Foods That Will Win the War.  The authors hoped American cooks would cut back on sugar to free up more resources for America's soldiers and allies in World War I.  A side benefit was quick, healthy recipes.

2 cups stewed pumpkin
1 cup corn syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk

"Mix all ingredients and bake in double crust pastry, or cook and serve in cooked single crust with meringue."
