• Place the pumpkin puree in a food processor along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Pulse to combine.

• Pour the filling into the crust. Place the pie on a sheet pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the pie for an additional 40-50 minutes or until center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the filling comes out clean.
• Cool the pie on a rack. Cut into slices and top with whipped cream if desired, or refrigerate the pie for later use.
