Here's the entire recipe:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
4 large eggs
1 can (29 oz) Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
2 cans (12 fl oz each) Carnation Evaporated Milk
2 unbaked 9" deep-dish pie shells
Does that help in determine how important the sugar is?
Also, as far as browning goes, when I was googling around before I posted here I read that if you spray the top of the pie filling with cooking spray it should brown nicely. I have no idea whether or not that would work. ??
I checked out the Splenda website and they do have 2 pumpkin pie recipes but they both call for ingredients with a lot of fat.
ValRock - Are you talking specifically about pumpkin pies? Or all pies in general? That would be so cool if you've already tried these substitutions for pumpkin pie and it worked!
Thanks again ladies. Your help is so appreciated.
