do you need to ues all the spices said for pumpkin pumpkin pie?

Question

like in the pumpkin it self im making it from a real pumpkin

Answer 1

Yes, use all of the spices.

If this is your first go at it, I'd follow the recipe that comes on the can from a of mashed pumpkin.

In the supermarket, there are two types of canned pumkins. One type is just pureed pumkins and the other type is a premixed pumpkin pie mixture. Use the recipe from the pureed pumpkins since it's just pumpkin. This will be the closest to using real pumpkins.

Answer 2

Instead of getting separate spices- just get a can/bottle of pumpkin pie spice. Then, that will be the only spice that you need.

Answer 3

I'd say yes. I've had a spiceless pumpkin pie before and it tasted pretty bland. Personally, it's the spices that really make it worth while.

Answer 4

Personally I am not to fond of cloves, so I use 1tsp cinnamon and just 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice, you can add what you like, remember when cooking, you are the creator, don't be afraid, have fun with it, usually a pumpkin pie calls for cinnamon, cloves, ginger & nutmeg, just pick the ones you like and use the correct amount about 11/2tsp. per pie

Answer 5

You will be disappointed in the outcome if you don't use at less pumpkin pie spice. A lot of work to not like it.

Answer 6

Hello Moxi,
A recipe is only a list of ingredients someone else found that works well together. You are NOT forced to use all (..or any..) of those spices.
I do a lot of cooking and baking, and I'm always trying new spices and herbs in my creations. My
cooking talents are the rage of my neighborhood.
Use any spices you want to use! Just have fun and be creative, OK???

Ingredients:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
Whipped cream (optional)


Directions:
MIX sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

NOTES:
1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves; however, the taste will be slightly different. Do not freeze, as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.

Answer 8

I personally cook and bake ALOT I wouldnt go to the extra trouble of using a real pumpkin... but yes, you are going to need all the spices if not more

Answer 9

You can buy one spice called pumpkin pie spice and it has all the spices you'll need in it to make your pie. This is cheaper than buying the individual spices.

Answer 10

The nuance of a pumpkin pie is the subtle hint of each ingredient. If you leave one out you loose a part of the complete experience.

Yes, please use them all.

Good luck
