This is my favorite (from my grandmother):
3 slightly beaten eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 pastry shell
pecans (optional)

Poke the bottom of the shell with a fork and bake pastry shell for about 7 minutes. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients (except for the pecans). Pour into pastry shell. Arrange pecans on the top. Bake at 350. Recipe says 40 minutes, but it seems to take an hour until the middle is firm. This is also good in a graham cracker crust, but you need to really pre-bake the crust or it will absorb all of the pumpkin.

Alternate for no sugar/no flour diet -
substitute approx 1/2 cup honey for the sugar and corn syrup. (Fat free egg substitute can be used for either pie) For shell, combine almond flour, melted margarine and honey. Spread in pie pan and pre bake for 10 minutes before adding filling. This cooks faster than the other - 40 mins should do it.
