Directions for Pumpkin Pie from Scratch Recipe
Making Pumpkin Puree. Cut your pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into large chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Carefully drop a few pieces of the pumpkin into the boiling water. Let it boil for 10 to 15 minutes, just until the skin is soft. Using tongs or a large slotted spoon, take the pieces out and drop them into a sink of cold water until they are cool enough for you to handle. With a sharp knife carefully peel the rind away from the pumpkin meat. Set the chunks to the side for now and keep doing this until all your pumpkin chunks are done. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut your larger chunks into smaller two to three inch chunks. Put a rack down in a roasting pan and put your chunks on top of the rack. Pour a cup of water in the roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Let the pumpkin bake for 45 minutes to an hour. When you can insert a fork into a chunk easily they are done. With a food processor or blender blend your pumpkin chunks up until you get a smooth puree. Recipe for Pumpkin Pie Filling. 1. In a large pot with a heavy bottom heat pumpkin puree.
