Any good pumpkin pie recipes using pie pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin?

Question

I was told that fresh pumpkin as opposed to canned pumpkin makes a universe of difference in the taste. During my test trials, the steamed and pureed pumpkin is much more wet than pumpkin pack. Not sure how much evaporated milk to add (if any) to fresh pumpkin for pumpkin pie

Answer 1

Yes, my Mother's recipe.....I cook a fresh SUGAR pumpkin with outer skin on in the Microwave for 15 minutes. So much easier than boiling on the stovetop. As it cools, put it in a strainer to drain extra water/juices. (that's what I do) Peel and then mash the pumpkin with a potato masher until smooth.

OLGA's PUMPKIN PIE:
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
1 2/3 cups evaporated milk (I use 1 (12oz.) can)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 unbaked pastry shell (9-inch)
Combine sugar, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl. Add pumpkin, evaporated milk, and eggs; mix well. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Shield the crust edge with a pie shield ring or fashion one with aluminum foil and place over edge. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 40 minutes or until center is set.

FRESH PUMPKIN tastes so much BETTER!
