Preparation - Beat the egg yolks lightly. In a double boiler, combine the lightly beaten egg yolks, 1/2 cup brown sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, and ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon ans salt. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. In a glass measuring cup, dissolve the gelatin in cold water. Stir this into the pumpkin mixture.
