Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar.
Add the pumpkin, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt and beat to mix.
Add the evaporated milk and mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the jars, leaving a small amount of space at the top of each jar. You may have a small amount of pumpkin mixture leftover.

  Hi Benesse! Great question
  You can use any canning jar to bake in. They are oven safe

I don’t have these smaller canning jars. Can I use larger glass canning jars? If so, how long would I leave them in the oven so the middles get cooked properly?

  Since no one answered your question and I am just reading this recipe I will give some ideas for thought! This recipe is basically a pumpkin pie minus the crust recipe. Any type of baked custard has to have time to set in the oven. Since you want to use larger jars start by baking for 25-30 minutes and check with a wooden skewer. Just be certain you have about an inch to one and a half inches in each jar. I wouldn’t use anything larger than a pint jar as I think the idea is making individual servings. Another idea is to use ramekins rather than jars.
