For decades I was making a recipe that my mother had passed down to me for homemade pumpkin pie. It’s delicious, but takes a lot of time to make! It’s a finicky recipe, sometimes it turns out perfect and at other times not-so-much. Family recipes are usually the best, but this year I decided to do something different.
I purchased several cans of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree and followed their recipe to make the Famous Pumpkin Pie which is printed right on the label. Wow, to my surprise…it saved me a boat load of time and every single pie turned out perfectly! You’ll find the recipe below.
Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie Recipe
1 can (15 oz.) Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree
1 1/2 cups Evaporated Milk
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
2 Large Eggs
1 unbaked 9-inch Deep-Dish Pie Shell
Note: I substituted the ground cloves with a 1/4 tsp. of ground pumpkin pie spice.
Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and dry ingredient mixture. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk.
Pour into the unbaked pie shell.
Bake in a 425 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. and bake for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours.
Serve pie immediately after it cools or refrigerate. It will make approximately 10-servings.

I have made this recipe and it is good. I also make my own version which is different.
This is the recipe that I am going to make for today’s Thanksgiving dinner. Usually turns out fine especially with some ice cream or whipped cream on top. Happy Thanksgiving!
Some times we are amazed at the recipes on the cans working but those companies spend thousands of dollars in research for the perfect recipe for their product. I like making the recipes on cans to see what they are like.
