Answer 1

I have gone the route of cooking, mashing, and baking a real pumpkin pie....only to be disappointed. Following the directions on the canned pumpkin label gives you much better results. Something that is good: instead of evaporated milk (and having to add the sugar), use a can of sweetened condensed milk instead. Follow the directions on the can (except add no sugar). I brown my crust for about 10 minutes in the oven before adding the mixture. And those pie crust rings you can get at Bed, Bath and Beyond really do keep your crust from burning....I'm sorry I can't answer your question about using a real pumpkin. It's a lot of work--and the canned comes out better!
