Opal's Pumpkin Pie
By: CarrolJ
Oct 15, 2004
This recipe was given to me by Opal Beebee, several years ago. This is a handed down family recipe. It was once prepared in the White House for one of the former Presidents. Opal's daughter had served in the National Guard and had met a Pastry Chef who later worked at the White House and called Opal to ask for the recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner at the White House. Do not eliminate the heavy cream IN the pie...the cream and the amount of spices listed is what makes this pie so special. It is good hot or cold. I never tasted hot pumpkin pie until I tasted this one.

I've tried every pumpkin pie known to mankind. This is absolutely the best. Most pumpkin pies seem to get better after setting for a while. This one is amazing right out of the oven. Don't waste your time on any other pumpkin pie recipe. This is the best.

5 Star Winning Recipe indeed! This came out so wonderful. Set up immediately. Baking time as stated is right on. The flavor is balanced just perfectly between the spices and pumpkin and cream. It was delicious served warm with whipped cream and I can't wait to try it cold. This is going to be our recipe for Pumpkin Pie at Thanksgiving from here on out. Update: Pie is wonderful cold or warm! Making for third time to take to an Easter brunch.

This was an excellent pumpkin pie! I made it for Thanksgiving dinner (can you tell I am getting caught up on my reviews) and everyone loved it... Turns out more custard like than normal pumpkin pie but this will be the only recipe I use from now on! Thank you very much
