Be sure to use canned pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix for this pie. The canned pumpkin is just puree, while the pie mix has spices already added to the puree. For a special garnish, cut leftover pastry into special shapes and bake separately on a cookie sheet until light golden brown. Arrange cut outs over baked filling.
