I would like to try a real pumpkin pie, don't know where you would get a nice pumpkin out here though. I'm guessing the ones you grow are quite small?Real pie pumpkins are different from the huge hollow ones grown for carving or animal feed. The pie pumpkins I grow are a French heirloom and so sweet on their own they almost carmelize when you bake them. The ones you are talking about are pretty much tasteless just like the canned pumpkin they sell here in the states
Don't know how folks can make pie out of that nasty stuff. You have to add so much just to give it any taste .
