pumpkin pie

This pumpkin is on its way to becoming pie tonight. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, makes a better pumpkin pie than fresh from the field pumpkin, none of that baby diarrhea stuff from cans. Not pumpkin bread, not pumpkin cookies, just a great wholesome pie.

Bake the seeded halves at 325 for an hour. Allow to cool some then scoop the meat into a mixing bowl and hit it with an electric mixer on high. No cords, no clumps just nice smooth pumpkin that gets measured just like the canned stuff to make a recipe. Serve it with real whipped cream or better yet a scoop of a good vanilla ice cream. Hard to beat it.

Nice. I do the same (except I do it in the food processor). So good.

Does it have to be a certain kind of pumpkin? The woman wants to mane some but i dont know if i grew the right kind for that. If not how bout a recipe.

Grocery stores right now are selling pie pumpkins. They’re smaller and are in the produce areas.
