I've not tried this precise recipe, but it's very similar to one I've used for years. Very good, IMHO, though not to everyone's taste. I recommend using 2 cups of FRESH pumpkin puree. The fresh pumpkin and molasses give the pie a a more rustic texture and robust taste.

This was the first time I'd made a pumpkin pie, and it turned out awesome! Am about to make it again :-) I used fresh pumpkin and blackstrap mollases.

This was very good but very spicey. I will make it again, but will cut back on the cinnamon and ginger.

This is so good. I didn't even use the molasses and use half cup of the evaporated milk. I ate the whole pie in three days. It's worth the extra time on the treadmill:-)

Very good. I used baked and pureed butternut squash.....no one ever knows that it is not pumpkin. I actually like the flavor of swuash better than pumpkin. I like the flavor of the molasses, but cut the amount in half, as some reviewers suggested.

I loved the molasses in it, but something was missing. Maybe it needed a bit more sweetness? You know how you like to grab a plain slice of cold pumkin pie for breakfast (I do) and it's so good, well, this one was good with whipped cream for after dinner dessert but didn't have that "plain & still yummy" apeal. Yes on the molasses, but needs something else.

My BF said "This is probably the best pumpkin pie I've ever eaten!" Thanks! I did make a couple of minor changes: I used ginger snaps for the crust, added 1 TB pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and ginger, and used fat free evaporated milk. It was awesome! It was so good we ate it up in 3 days (just the 2 of us) and he begged me to make another one. It was so simple to make I didn't mind, and for the second batch I substituded 1/2 of the sugar for no-calorie sugar (like splenda for baking) and didn't notice any difference! This will be my go-to pumpkin pie for sure!

This is the best pumpkin pie I ever made! Thank you Marcia! The only thing I add was about 1/2 tsp. ground clove, because I like it, but I'm certain it would be great without it, too. The molasses was the big difference. It's hard to imagine that amount would make that much difference to the taste, but it added a wonderful, rich, flavor that enhanced the pumpkin flavor so well. Thanks for posting....I will not use any other recipe ever.
