My mother was known as one of the best pie baker's in the whole area and this is my mother's recipe. It is not spicy but just a pumpkin flavor that is sure to please everyone. I loved it so much since I was a kid, when I was about 12 yrs. old we went to visit my aunt and she had baked every kind of pie imaginable. I chose pumpkin and I couldn't eat her pie because it had all the spices in it, I was so disappointed. I am so glad for this recipe because pumpkin is really good for you!
