Does anyone put cloves in their pumpkin pie?

You’re right! It’s been so long since I made them that I forgot.

I would just maybe crush one or two because they are really strong.

I had a little mix and pastry left over so I made a second smaller pie which was thinner and it was better so that checks out. I'll try evap milk next time instead of cream as most of the recipes I just looked at used it. More than half of them used Libby's puree as well but as a chef I'm generally opposed to using processed ingredients plus I don't think it's readily available in the UK. The reason given was a dryer mix but straining overnight in a cheese cloth would achieve this. A few of the recipes added ginger but most were just cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. One or two added vanilla.
Anyway I'm going to try again taking everyone's advice into account.
Thanks guys (and gals).

I think the last time I used cloves was boiling them with cinnamon to make the house smell nice.

They are good for toothache too but I've heard dentists say they burn the gums.

Cloves angry up the blood.
