Pumpkin Pie

This is the first time I have ever made or eaten Pumpkin pie and it was delicious. I've made it twice now and it goes down well with my family as well.

I am in the middle of making this, as I type its in the oven. The smell is delicious. The pastry looks perfect. But its taking its time to set. I substituted fresh cream for evaporated milk. I just hope it works out.

I have been wanting to try Pumpkin pie for a while now and due to it being autumn, we tried it. Instead of using pastry, I made a biscuit (cheesecake) base and though I mashed the Pumpkin, I still used a stick blender to get a better result. The pie was delicious, even my fussy daughter ate it. I used a lot less sugar (125g) and this was sweet enough for us, but other than that, perfect.

after living in Canada for a long time, I was really homesick for this after coming over to the UK, I was at first using sweet potatoes instead of fresh pumpkin..after finding canned pumkin for sale first at the canada shop in London, it was costing me to much, so now Waitrose sell it.. I have been making it now for 10 years..this recipe is a good basic one, I always use evapo milk and dont bother with the flour..and tone down the spices if the kids want it..we serve it stone cold with maple syrup whipped cream..

Lovely recipe, made it last year without any changes, everyone who tried it loved it.

I made this using honey instead of sugar, and it was really delicious! I am very pleased with how it turned out, including the consistency. Great recipe

I tried this out and it was my first time making pumpkin pie. I'd always heard about it on American films and in books but had no idea what it should taste like. I substituted the evaporated milk and sugar for 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk. Personally I didn't like this as I found the sludge-like texture quite nauseating. My husband, who lived in the US for 8 years, loved it. So did his parents. They said it was better than anything they had tasted in the states. God knows what they're eating over there!

BEAUTIFUL !!!! A really tasty pie even though I used dark brown sugar and ready made pastry cases it was just yummy. I was worried that the texture was to liquid but the filling firms up perfectly when cooked.

I made this at the weekend after finding a lovely pumpkin at the market. I always find working with pumpkin a bit difficult, so I made things easier on myself by cheating with frozen pastry from the shop. It was still brilliant and I'd make this again anytime when pumpkins are in season.
