I wont even try to make on from scratch. I love the recipie I have and I dont have to get my hands dirty. 😆 I hope the pie was worth it 😀
I’m with you and lamorte!!! Unless the pumpkin is in the can or already boiled and pealed, I’ll stick with the bakery. 😉
My bf’s mom always makes her pies from scratch. Of course this year I missed Thanksgiving with her so she sent pies. One apple, one pumpkin and one rhubarb. Love apple, love pumpkin, can’t stand rhubarb, so hunny got to eat that one all for himself.

Yes. On the can it will say “100% pumpkin.”
If your pumpkin glows bright green and wanders the streets at night. Then you probably don’t want to use it for pie.
I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~
Engaged to a WeaselI did get to eat one of my pies today and it wasn’t bad for my first attempt. I need to find a way for it to be less of a grainy texture. I don’t think I boiled the pumpkin enough so maybe thats why it wasn’t a smooth texture.
I do! I use various pumpkins for it, my favourit being butterscotch (looks like a pea). I use a peeler for that one, the other pumpkins I either boil with skin or cube them first and then hack of the skin side (not really economical or whatever). It helps if you dont think ” apple chips” but “hack it and get it into the friggin pan”.
I love pumpkin pies, but around here they are absolutely, totally, fully unknown. Correct me, Basilisk, if this is just my Argau Region 😉
I love soup too 🙂 nomnom 🙂purpledoggy wrote:I did get to eat one of my pies today and it wasn’t bad for my first attempt. I need to find a way for it to be less of a grainy texture. I don’t think I boiled the pumpkin enough so maybe thats why it wasn’t a smooth texture.
hmm…they never really have a “smooth” texture….you can try using the beaters on it….like mashed potatoes…..
btw….I posted my recipe in the food section for all those that asked….
That’s great that you could eat your first attempt! mine was really bad…. 🙄
I was talking with mum today and she mentioned a couple of different ways to turn the pumpkin into useable mush without so much trouble.
1 – Wash the pumpkin really well before you cut it up, cut it up into smaller chunks, boil until soft. Instead of trying to skin it, put all pieces (skin and all) through the food processer or blender until pureed
2 – Cut the pumpkin in half and place face down on a cookie sheet and bake @ 375*F for around 1hr or until done. Scoop pumpkin out of shell with an Icecream scoop or spoon and mash until smooth. Kinda like you do for squash.
Mum also mentioned that she has a reciepe for pumpkin pie from an old Farmer’s cookbook for pumpkin pie that involves no pumpkin but uses carrots instead 😯 She’s going to look for that book. And she said that we are going to have to try pumpkin pie in a graham cracker crust Frozen!
A pumpkin pie made with carrots….I think I’ve seen that recipe. I’ll have to go look now.
Thank you frozen for the recipe. I would love to try it. (But, what would I do with all that pie?)
