Personal Notes:
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or 4th of July, or Halloween, or any festive day, for that matter) without a traditional pumpkin pie.

It was sitting at Granny Koch's table that I learned the fine art of "evening out" a sliced pumpkin pie . . . until it was evened out to an empty plate!

This is the traditional holiday pumpkin pie. This classic recipe has been on LIBBY'SŪ Pumpkin labels since 1950.

Cook's Note: 1-3/4 tsp. pumpkin spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves; however, the taste will be slightly different. Do not freeze, as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.
