This year, Lily, Emmy and I decided to bake a pumpkin pie using real pie pumpkins instead of pumpkin from a can.
Whole pumpkins, baked for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. I just love their color!
Pumpkin innards
Lily enjoyed scooping out the pumpkins seeds!
Emmy….not so much.
The skin peeled off of the baked pumpkins very easily!
I pureed the pumpkin in a food processor attachment that came with my blender.
After I pureed the pumpkin, I made pumpkin pie as usual! Delicious!
Have you made fresh pumpkin pie before?
I am officially craving pumpkin pie and I blame you. 😉
It was quite tasty!

Thank you for the tip of baking the pumpkin first — and setting some aside specifically for this purpose. Last year we made pumpkin cookies from the innards of our jack-o-lanterns. It was tough getting 10 oz. of innards for the puree, but they turned out yummy. Didn't last long though — they spoiled before we could eat them all!

I have some leftover pumpkin, so I was thinking about making pumpkin bread with it. Cookies sound great, too!

I am a mutant who does not like pumpkin pie. But I imagine this one tasted better than using canned pumpkin. You are so industrious!

It did taste yummy! But Emmy didn't like it, so she just had the whipped cream! 😉

I hate dealing with pumpkin innards, so it will be the can again for me this year! 🙂

It was a lot of work! I'll probably use canned pumpkin next time. 😉

My attempts at pumpkin pie started in the can and ended in one. The trash can. Maybe I should've been using the fresh stuff! The two pumpkins sitting on my front stoop look very nervous right about now.

No, it was actually pretty easy. Just a little time consuming, but we had fun!

We're going to make our first fresh pumpkin pie this year. We'll be cooking our pumpkins in the crock pot, though.
You've inspired me to do that too! Probably not by Thursday, but you know…I'm glad it was just as delicious as always!
