      This pie tastes like fall. I never understood why people like pumpkin pie. I have always found it to be inferior to every other pie, until I tasted Elenas pumpkin pie. This pie converted me. Using fresh pumpkin is an absolute game changer. You will never want to go back to canned purées again.
