I am doing the desserts for Thanksgiving at my new in-laws house this year, so am doing some early trial-runs. I think we have a winner with this pie. Very smoothly-textured and creamy! I followed recommendation and doubled all of the spices. I also added in another 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Next time, I think I may take it to 1/2 teaspoon, and grate some on the top as well. My husband said he thought it needed to be just a little sweeter (a very odd thing for him to say), but I thought it was just right. BTW, his piece of pie disappeared in approximately 25 seconds, so take his statement as you will.
Great pie, thank you!!!!

This was so delicious! My houseful of I-can-take-it-or-leave-it pumpkin pie eaters gobbled it up. Everyone commented that it was much better than any pumpkin pie they ever ate. The molasses really creates a smooth filling and adds incredible flavor. I halved the recipe to make one pie instead of two. I also doubled all the cinnamon, ground allspice, ground cloves and ground ginger. This is highly recommended! It's easy and over the top delicious!

This was one awesome pie! I never really liked pumpkin pie but I do now! The spices mixed in this pie made it outstanding! Instead of a regular pie crust I used a gingersnap crust, delicious! Thank you Teresa M

This pie is ohh, sooo good! I'd never ever made a pumpkin pie before, and it turned out great. Just as advertised, it is a easy recipe for the beginner. I used my own pie crust and instead of molasses I used maple syrup. Thanks, for sharing this recipe! For sure, I'll be making it again.

Great! loved this recipe, it was extremely simple to mix together. My 6yr old and I whipped up 6 pies using this recipe. We loved the smooth silky texture and the flavour was just right. The molasses was a nice touch to the recipe. I did double the spices, to my own taste, since I know I personally like a stronger pie, and my family was very happy with the results. Thank you for such a wonderful and simple recipe, this will become my yearly pumpkin pie recipe from now on.

Wonderful pie! I loved the flavor of it — the bit of molasses made it a perfect New England Thanksgiving dessert. I have to laugh, though; I didn't notice until JUST NOW that this makes two pies, not one. I poured the whole thing into a single pie shell and it made a spectacular — ONE spectacular — pie. It took a little longer to cook, but not that much longer — maybe ten minutes. This is my new favorite pumpkin pie recipe!

Yummmm.....I used maple syrup instead of molasses and added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. I doubled the other spices, except allspice. My pumpkin was little runny, so I drained it in two layers of cheesecloth for a couple of minutes to firm it up. Worked great! I had enough for two pies (store-bought crust).
