| I am going to my daughter's for Thanksgiving...volunteered to bring pies. I do not like pumpkin pie but everone else does so of course one of the pies will be pumpkin. Is there anything out there that is better than the Libbys recipe? |

| The Libby's is really good but here's an alternative: PRALINE PUMPKIN PIE 1/3 cup chopped pecans 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 TBL butter, softened 1 unbaked 9" pie shell, softened 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin puree 1 TBL flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp graound ginger 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/8 tsp ground mace (you can omit if you don't have it) 1 cup evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed) Preheat oven to 450°. combine the pecans, 1/3 cup of the brown sugar & the butter. Press into the bottom of the pie shell. Bake 10 minutes. |

| I don't like pumpkin pie either, we always had sweet potato pie at home. But I have to make one for husband on Thanksgiving. Here's what I do 1 - 15 oz. can Libbys Pumpkin Mix well and pour in pie crust. bake 325 till set -- about 45 min. to 1 hour. watch topping to keep from getting too brown, may have to cover with foil if it starts browning too fast. |

| Oh my....they both sound good! Don't know why I don't like pumpkin pie. I like everything that goes into it. Thanks for the recipes. |

| If you don't care for traditional Libby's pumpkin pie, here's the absolute best alternative, as long as you're willing to add some bourbon. PUMPKIN GELATIN PIE 1 envelope unflavored gelatin In saucepan combine gelatin and 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in milk, egg yolks and pumpkin. Cook and stir over medium heat til mixture thickens and just begins toboil. Remove from heat; stir in bourbon. In small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form (tips curl over). Gradually add 2 Tbsp sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold egg whites into pumpkin mixture. Pile pumpkin mixture into baked pie shell. Refrigerate several hours until mixture is set. Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle with fresh grated nutmeg, if desired. Enjoy! |
