what part of the pumpkin is used for pupkin pie? do I boil it first to use it for pie?

Answer 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Cut pumpkin into small manageable pieces and cut off pith and seeds.
Place cut pumpkin skin side up in a large roasting pan. For 1 medium sugar pumpkin add 1/4 water and bake uncovered for 1 hour or until tender. Remove from oven and allow pumpkin to cool.
When cooled, cut away skin and mash or puree. Use in any recipe that calls for canned pureed pumpkin.
Yields 4 to 6 cups.

Answer 2

I have found that the easiest way to prepare your pumpkin is to bake it whole if it's a pie pumpkin or cut it in half if it is a larger pumpkin(skin side up) at 350 degrees until fork tender then you can cut it, peel it and take out the seeds and pulp(strings). You are then left with the flesh which is what you use in all recipes calling for pumpkin. Make: soup, muffins, cookies, cake, pie, pumpkin butter etc.

Answer 3

Here is a recipe I found

1 medium sugar pumpkin
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups evaporated milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut out top of pumpkin and clean out all seeds and strings from inside. Slice pumpkin vertically into 3 inch wide strips. Place strips onto a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour. Once done, scrape the pumpkin from the skins, then beat with a mixer or puree in a food processor until smooth.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Mix the nutmeg, ginger, salt, evaporated milk and eggs with the pumpkin puree. Pour mixture into two 9 inch pie crusts.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool and refrigerate.
