Pumpkin Pie - A Little Creamier

Pumpkin pie is my all time favorite and pretty much the only pie I eat.  I can't wait for the holidays when I get to make the pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and if I hadn't told anyone they were gluten free they would have no idea.  There are so many ways to make/buy gluten free crusts now, there is no reason that everyone shouldn't be enjoying pumpkin pie for the holidays.  But the pie filling is where you become famous for your pies.  I think I have a "famous" filling that you will love.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- 1 can (12 fl oz) Carnation Evaporated Milk
