Mix sugar and eggs, then add pumpkin, then rest of ingredients– except the cornstarch– in a large pot. Put over medium heat and stir constantly. Once it is fairly warm, add in the cornstarch mixture. Thicken by bringing to boiling (likes to splurb when hot due to thickness). Great cooled and served with whipped cream!! Optional: Let cool a bit, stir, then throw it into a cooked pie shell.
