Wow! This pie was great. )And yes, I agree with Steph (reviewer), this did make 2 regular pies for me too. I couldn't find my ginger so I made it without and was still delicous! I guess it's a fool proof pie, (to an extent). We loved this pie!

This pie came out great! I didn't use cloves (didn't have any!) or nutmeg (mother-in-law doesn't like it) and it still came out really good. I will definitely keep this recipe!

Tasted great - according to my husban and oldest daughter. I don't like pumpkin pie (I think it is the nutmeg). This recipe made TWO PIES, and I did not double the recipe. Not sure why, but I followed the recipe to a tee. Trust me, I am not complaining - my husband was one happy man for 7 days! :o)

Only had canned pumpkin and for got to pick up the ginger and cloves! Ack! I substituted nutmeg and a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This recipe turned out fantastic even with my variations! I'm going to try it your way as well as soon as I get a real pumpkin! Thanks for this recipe. It's a real keeper!
