Today after Church I finally cooked my pie pumpkin. For those of you who don't know what a pie pumpkin looks like here is a pretty good description. These pumpkins are squatter than a jack-o-lantern type pumpkin, they are lighter and the meat of the pumpkin is more dense. I have cooked these pumpkins for the last 29 years and they make a wonderful pumpkin pie. Where I grew up in northwestern NJ they were called Milk Pumpkins. I guess because they were a pumpkin color with milk in it. That is the only way I can describe it. When I make my Great-Grandmother's Recipe for her pumpkin pie, I will post it on here.
Mmmm they sound wonderful
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the pie : )
ReplyDeleteI learned something new. I didn't know certain pumpkins were better than others. Thanks for the info.

Hi Sherri :)
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a specific pumpkin for pie making, but I didn't know which one it was. I can't wait for the recipe!

I have been sooo hungry for pumpkin anything. I tried to make pie from pumpkin once...yes, once. You are amazing if you've been making it all those years!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your recipe, just in time too!
Have a wonderful evening,
Kathi :)
Thank you for the description of a pie pumpkin! I've seen them referenced before, but didn't know what the difference was. :0)
