Pumpkin Pie tested on guests

Seeing the shops full of Halloween stuff & the crates of "Carving Pumpkins" I decided to buy one & make various things from it - starting with a Pumpkin Pie.

The recipe called for it to be packed full of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger & allspice, basically to give the bland flesh of the pumpkin some flavour.

I saw a recipe for a meringue covered pie, so gave it a go. It turned out very well & dinner guests loved it.
