Wondering what the best canned pumpkin filling is? Cook's Illustrated tested three products and reports: "Libby's and One-Pie ended up in a dead heat. While some tasters favored the 'creamy' texture and 'mild sweetness' of Libby's, others preferred the slightly 'denser' texture and 'sharper' pumpkin flavor of One-Pie. Farmer's Market was disqualified for its unpleasantly 'vegetal' and 'chalky' flavor." I'm partial to One-Pie myself, in large part because I love the old-fashioned packaging.
