This last Thanksgiving everyone noted it was a lot lighter than a pie made from the canned stuff, in a good way -- yeah, after you've just stuffed yourself ridiculously, lighter is nice. One extra hint -- put your pumpkin puree in a colander and let it drain for half an hour. It doesn't lose much moisture, but that extra bit makes a difference. Also, my recipe is close to your second one -- not custardy -- and I spread about 1/4 cup of apricot jam on the crust before pouring in the filling. Try it -- it's good.
