I've made this pie every year for the past 10 year. It always gets rave reviews and disappears before the traditional pumpkin does. I usually make two and add pecans to one of them. FABulous!

My family won't let me have a Thanksgiving without this pie. I have to make 2 or 3 pies because it goes so fast. I didn't really care for Pumkin pie until I tried this recipe. This is the best pumkin pie ever!

the pie did turn out good...the only problem was, it had a really strong taste of clove to it...next time i make it i will use only a 1/4tsp of the clove.

My friend made it one year at work and i told her that she had to give me the recipe. Iv been making this pie for 6 years for my moms side of the family.
They would be MAD at me if i didn't have the pie.
