Here is an original recipe for LIBBY'S Famous Pumpkin Pie that includes 14 suggested pie toppers from The Great Pumpkin Cookbook published in 1984. This cookbook is filled with recipes ranging from pumpkin desserts, to main dishes and side dishes.
Little "Bite" of History
- Libby started processing pumpkin in 1929. They use their own strain of "Dickinson" pumpkin exclusively for the solid pack pumpkin. This variety is smaller and sweeter than standard "jack o'lantern" type pumpkins.
- When processing the pumpkin puree, LIBBY does not add anything to the solid pack pumpkin and some of the water is removed to concentrate the pumpkin to yield a rich, creamy texture and fresh flavor.
Try out some of these pie toppers for your Thanksgiving feast!

EQUIPMENT NEEDED
To make pie, you will need to have these items:
- (2) 9" Pie Plates - I recommend glass pie plate like Pyrex
- Food Processor, Mixer, or Pastry Cutter - this helps when mixing together cold butter and flour
- Pie Protector - try a rubber or metal protector to prevent edges from burning before pie is done
- (Optional) pie cutters for decorative look
