recipe reviews for:

Pumpkin Pie

“This is the only pumpkin pie recipe I've ever used. It's been in the family for at least sixty years! Since, in our family, one pie is never enough, I like to triple the filling recipe and divide it into two pie shells, since, as my Mom always says, "No body likes a skimpy pie!" (Of course, this will add a few minutes to the baking time, too.) Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.”

Absolutely LOVED this pie. have never really liked pumpkin pie or actually ate it..but this is my BF's fav kind of pie, so I tried this recipe and he said it was "orgasmic"..only thing I would do different next time is bake it a little longer, 10 minutes maybe or less..the middle was a little soft...but it was all eaten in 2 days!

Very good pie. I have always liked pumpkin pie and this is some of the best. This is going to be my contribution to the fourth of july party this year. It's going to be a hit, i just know it. Thank you for this excellent recipe.

Thanks for sharing a recipe generations old!!! I did find that i had to leave it in the oven longer than the recommended time. Doubled up on the cinnamon because i didn't have all the spices and used cardamom as well. Didn't have evaporated milk but found that whole milk was fine, just added a little flour and corn syrup to ensure it wouldn't run by the time it was out of the oven. Delicious!

It's far too watery going into the oven and, like many other reviewers, it takes FOREVER to cook. The recipe states that it should only take about 40 minutes, but I'd had mine in the oven for 1 hour, 15 minutes, and the middle has yet to set. The taste was passable, but I've had much better. :-(

It was an okay pumpkin pie but not as phenomenal as i thought it would be after reading the reviews. I was able to fit it into my 9 inch pie pan no problem but it took FOREVER, almost 2 hours, to cook and it needed a little more flavor. I've made other pumpkin pies before and have never needed that much time to bake.
