Fresh Pumpkin Pie


I like old, tried and true recipes that use whole food as ingredients. I've been making this delicious pumpkin pie for nearly 20 years. It is remarkably simple. If you have never made a pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin puree you are in for a real treat!

Dang, wish I'd seen this before Thanksgiving! This is my second year making my pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin puree and I will never use the canned stuff again! I really like the addition of the heavy cream in your recipe. I see another pumpkin pie in our not-too-distant future! :)

My recipe has the same ingredients but in different amounts. This year I tried two different kinds of pumpkins for pumpkin pie, Rouge vif detampes and New England Sweet Pie. Both extremely yummy but very different in flavor. Plus, I had a friends pumpkin bars nade from store pumpkin in a can. I had forgotten just how tasteless store pumpkins really is, making those pumpkins I grew all that more appreciated.
