I also found this recipe in that magazine. I love it! It's the only pumpkin pie I ever make.<br/><br/>I'm sorry to say this, but I just noticed that you made a little mistake in the ingredients list. It's 1 1/4 heavy cream, and 1/4 cup Southern Comfort.<br/><br/>Anyway, it's a great pie, and I'm making one tomorrow.
