"I have not made this recipe yet - it is a request from my father for Thanksgiving. He got the recipe from a Senior Center and loves the pie. I found a copy of the recipe in "The Older Nebraskan's Voice", Fall 2008, pg. 36."

WHAT AN UNUSUAL PUMPKIN PIE! Unusual in the very best sense of the word, believe me ~ We really enjoyed this pie (The combo of pumpkin & pineapple is great!), & the recipe is a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed while on tour in the Caribbean with the ZWT5]
