This pumpkin pie was delicious! I chose to make this over the other recipe with cream cheese that was rated so highly because I liked that it included more of the traditional spices. I used pure pumpkin puree from a can in this case... After combining all the ingredients I had a little taste and decided to add a little more puree to give the pumpkin flavour a boost. With the 2 tbsp of Brandy, you can really taste it. I may add slightly less next time. I made this recipe in the UK to celebrate a Canadian Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit!!

Don't think I like this as much as Paula's. Didn't come close to filling 10" pan. I thought maybe something was missing from recipe.
