Way too sweet. Had to throw the whole pie away.

This pie got rave reviews from my pumpkin pie loving family and even from the members who don’t love pumpkin pie. We didn’t have rum, so we used bourbon instead, and it was great. I do believe the commenter below must have used pumpkin pie filling rather than pumpkin puree. It wasn’t too sweet at all. Would highly suggest this recipe with a homemade crust!!

I have been making this pie every year since the article and Emily’s book (which I bought) were released back in 1991. Since pumpkin is one of my favorite pies, I always try new recipes but eventually return to this gem of perfection. It was my post-Thanksgiving breakfast today. My only modification is using a ginger snap crust, as I believe crumb crusts pair better with custard pies. I’ve also substituted the pumpkin purée with mashed sweet potatoes, which has yielded great results. Thank you, Emily and Florence, for a 33-year ( and counting) tradition.

Just in time! Thanks!

@Sarah F are you sure you made it correctly? 1/2 cup sugar for a pumpkin pie is standard. Perhaps you used a can of “pumpkin pie filling” )which comes pre-sweetened) rather than plain pumpkin puree?
