It's easy to make homemade pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin - no need to be spooked! Choose small, sweet pumpkins rather than using a large watery jack-o'lantern. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
fresh roasted pumpkin yields a superior pie to one that uses canned pumpkin. Perhaps you're of the mindset that from-scratch and fresh is always best. Or maybe you're just trying to give a second ...
but if you want to start from scratch, roast 1kg of pumpkin with a little sea salt at 180C until very soft and lightly browned. This recipes uses a 26cm diameter, 3-4cm deep, fluted pie/quiche tin.
