Pumpkin Pie from your fresh pumpkins

[MissPrissy]

The day after halloween you'll be able to clean up on pumpkins. Last year walmart sold them for $1 each.

You're gonna love it. It is easy work.

Pumpkin pie made from your own pumpkin always tastes better than the store bought. I usually bake several small sugar pumpkins each year. I use a Victorio Food Mill to remove the stringy less than great stuff. I then place enough for 2 pies in zip lock freezer bags.

Pie pumpkins shouldn't be stringy, right MissP?

 

[MissPrissy]

Scrape out the insides. Bake until tender, it should mash easily with a fork. I have never had a stringy pie pumpkin. If it is stringy after cooking it might indicate an older pumpkin. Use a stick blender or food processor to whip it up if you need to.

It is sort of like whipped potatoes are silkier than mashed. Same with pumpkin.

It tasted fabulous too! Little Madison ate so much that she went to be early with a tummy ache.
