The holidays will soon be upon us, complete with all of the tastes of the season. There is nothing that signifies the holidays are here like pumpkin pie with whipped cream. The thought of making a pie from scratch may be daunting, but pumpkin pie is actually much easier than it sounds. So, if you've just visited your favorite farmers market or harvested a pumpkin out of your own garden, then keep reading for some homemade pumpkin pie tips.
The first step is to prepare your pumpkin. This includes giving it a good wash and slicing the pumpkin in half. Scoop out the stringy part and the seeds inside each half. While you won't be using the seeds in the pie, they make great snacks when roasted and lightly salted.
Bake your pumpkin for an hour, shell side up. The insides will become very soft, almost like butter. Scoop out the insides leaving just the shell. An ice cream scoop works well with this. If the pumpkin does not have the consistency of canned puree, you can puree it lightly in a food processor. It should not need it, however.
Last, but not least, follow the pie recipe for the filling and the crust. You will be able to find many different recipes in various cookbooks and online. Each varies in different aspects like spices and sugar content. Choose one you think sounds yummy and meets any special dietary needs you may have.
Whether you make your pie from canned puree, buy it frozen, or make it from scratch, a pumpkin pie is a great holiday tradition!
