Pumpkin Pumpkin Pie

[MadJohnShaft]

One - grew a pumpkin


Two - pied


( I actually used a little food pumpkin instead but you get the idear)

One of my favorites...the pie.

The secret ingredient is Cayenne pepper.

Sadly the one Pumpkin I manage to grow each year isn't a food pumpkin (though its the grandson of the first one, I saved seeds) and has the wrong texture for food.

I have a few food ones left so those will make bread and muffins....

smaller pumpkins are sweeter and make better pie.
cooked pumpkin freezes well.

I use a blender to mix my pumpkin pie, then pour it into shells sitting on my oven rack. that way no spills.

The real key is vinegar in your pie crust.

I had a few squash (filled with maple syrup, craisins, pumpkin seeds etc)  I had cooked but we didn't eat, chopped up next day and made pumpkin bread and its great. Will have to do that more.
