Pumpkin Custard

I love pumpkin pie this time of year. Pumpkins still can be found in the store for only $1.00 a pound. Since going Paleo, I make pumpkin pie without the crust and call it pumpkin custard. This recipe is so easy to make! I have adopted it from a recipe in a pamphlet from Mrs. Gooch’s Natural Food Markets from at least 35 years ago. Mrs. Gooch’s was a natural foods market in Los Angeles and if you remember it, make sure to let me know!
