This is a new crust for me, so maybe I should just go back to my old standby crust. I've tried pies with more spice and I've found they can be devisive. But I also get wanting more spice too. Ok. So I'll go back to my old crust and play with the spice mix a bit. Many thanks for the feedback! Thanks for the feedback.

I liked the flavor of the fresh pumpkin a lot. Perhaps it's just me, but I like a slightly more aggressive level of spice (a little more cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove?) Thanks for entering!

How should I tweak my pumpkin pie recipe? I'm happy enough with this particular base recipe that I'd like to make it my go-to pie for the holidays. I'm confident enough in it now that it is good, but not great and I want to start tweaking it. What would you recommend starting with? The crust? The filling? Flavor? Texture? So a question for you.

What would you recommend starting with? The crust? The filling? Flavor? Texture?

It was great to experience the tension & excitement as we waited for the results, and even more fun to taste the pies afterward. Not a loser in the bunch . . . I wish we had 9 Le Creuset pots to give away! Thank you for judging the contest, Lorna, and huge thanks to all the talented bakers.

To bad it wasn't a beauty contest! ;) (it was Bay actually, not Sage) You had a tough job. I've never seen so many pretty pies. Beautiful recap Lorna.
