  1. Very nice pumpkin pie. Just the right sweetness. I keep frozen cooked pumpkin as well, so this was very easy. I used the note in the recipe to create the pumpkin pie spice. As my own addition, I sprinkled the top with some extra cinnamon sugar mixture. This pie disappeared before it was completely cooled. Thanx!
     
  2. I absolutely love this recipe. I live in Japan where canned pumpkin pie filling just doesn't exist, but cooking pumpkins are very common. I love making this recipe. I use the variation spices, but I use freshly grated ginger which really gives the pie a little oomph!
     
  3. I loved this recipe. It taste so much better then using canned pumpkin, and it wasn't too much more work. Four stars!!!
