My family loves most anything with pumpkin in it. I made this pie as a try out before Thanksgiving. It was widely popular with my family. I found it needed the whole teaspoon of ginger. I used English walnuts as I have found that black walnuts have a sharp accent that can over take the rest of the ingredients in a recipe. This pie will be in my regular fall rotation.

Liked it but needs more pumpkin flavor. Also too much liquid. Nice and creamy, goes well with Bourbon. Less milk, more pumpkin could make it a winner. Used toasted pecans instead of walnuts for more mellow flavor.
