Recipe #47 Pumpkin Pie from a real pumpkin!!

Sorry guys!!! I haven't been on here for a very long time... it is a crazy time of year with holidays!!! I know this recipe is a little late but you can book mark it or if you have a pumpkin make a winter pumpkin pie!!!

INGREDIENTS:

a pie pumpkin

1 cup sugar

4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs

3 cups pumpkin glop (from the pie pumpkin)

1 can (12oz each) of evaporated milk

 1 ready made crust or a homemade crust

DIRECTIONS:

Preparing the pie pumpkin: Wash the exterior of the pumpkin in cool or warm water, no soap.
Cut the pumpkin in half. A serrated knife and a sawing motion works best. Scrape the insides. You want to get out that stringy, dangly stuff that coats the inside surface. I find a heavy ice cream scoop works great for this. Place it cut side down into a covered oven container. Cover the ovenproof container (with a lid), and pop it in an 350 oven. It normally takes about 45 minutes to 90 minutes or until you can poke through the skin with a fork.

Mix all the ingredients together and then pour into the pie crust. Bake at 425 F for the first 15 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 350 F and bake another 45 to 60 minutes, until a clean knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

BON APPETIT!
