Answer 1

If it's pumpkin pie, start over with this uber recipe:


A delicious pumpkin pie, spiced with ginger and cinnamon.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup evaporated milk, undiluted
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked pastry shell (9-inch)
PREPARATION:
Combine pumpkin, sugar, salt, spices, and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Add eggs; mix well. Add evaporated milk, water, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake about 35 minutes longer, or until center is set.

It is most uber..

Answer 2

Are your pies cooked? If they are, I have no idea how to fix it (unless you pile on the vanilla ice cream or whipped topping to counter the taste)

If they aren't cooked, run the liquid thru a cheesecloth to remove the spices - you may have to add a little more after straining, but at least you won't have too much. God bless!

Answer 3

Use ginger and clove instead and of course, cinnamon

Answer 4

There is nothing you can do about it now. Just make sure you don't do it again.
Sorry.
