Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

JackieOhNo!'s Note:

This recipe came to me almost 20 years ago from a co-worker, who passed along his wife's recipe. I have never made another pumpkin pie since! Even people who profess to dislike pumpkin pie end up enjoying this one. At the end of a holiday meal, I never have so much as one piece left. To make it a little more fancy, you can serve this with my Honey-Ginger Cream.

Don't know if the raves are for the pie or the honey ginger cream, but by far this is the best recipe ever. Everyone, even people who are not pumpkin pie lovers, goes back for seconds. JackieOhNo, you should be JackieOhYes. thank you thank you!

Terrific! I used homemade pumpkin puree and it turned out beautifully. I did cook it about 5 minutes extra.
