i have small pumpkins. I bought one being told it was for baking but it looks just like the ones I bought for craving (size, color, shape)... Could I cook them all into pies?
@HelenaJN Pie pumpkins look like regular 'jack o'latern' pumpkins - only smaller. I found an online recipe for making pumpkin pie from carving pumpkins that you might want to check out, just in case. Go to pickyourown[dot]org/pumpkinpiejackolantern[dot]php
Be sure and replace [dot] with an actual '.' And read some of the FAQs and responses from other readers - Hope this helps. Happy baking!!
A lot of info for the question asked. Cinderella is a great pumpkin but a striped cushaw makes the best pumpkin pie. Put your shell in the compost or feed it to your chickens and you don't waste a thing, not to mention you didn't waste a tin can in buying canned pumpkin which I suspicion is canned squash or cushaw, not pumpkin.
Thats right, pick on cinderella. Throw her in the oven. Make sure you don't cook her glass slippers in the pie. Thanks for the informational video. I never even heard of cinderella pumpkins. Learn something new everyday. 5 star and fave.
I was given a pumpkin from work & I hated to waste it. I searched my cookbooks for a pumpkin pie recipe starting with an actual pumpkin. There wasn't any. Undaunted, I cut open the pumpkin, dug out the seeds & used a big knife to cut it into chunks, then sliced the hard skins off, boiled the flesh. Then pureed the cooked pumpkin, added the other ingredients and baked the pies. They were very good,looked store bought. I didn't think about baking them.
Do you know what kind it was? Just wondering if it was a carving type of pumpkin. I've baked w/the cinderellas (what she is holding here) and sugar pumpkins for pies and breads.
The pumpkin I made into pies was just the big, round ones normally used for Halloween carving; the ones they usually sale in the grocery stores. I don't know the name of the variety, but it turned out well altho a little labor intensive. I grew a couple of my own last year and gave them to a neighbor/friend who then baked them into pies for Thanksgiving and invited me over. Much easier ;-)
I must have led a sheltered life. I've never had pumpkin pie; and they are the first things I walk past in the Store. Mind you .... I live in the UK, maybe that's why Informative video though and thanks for sharing :) ~F~
this is what would happen if i was at a pumpkin farm and happened to ask her: how much does that one cost?...you want to pull away, but she just keeps yammering (no pun intended).
Mmmm... pumpkin pie! The pumpkin I carved for Halloween was definitely the "stringy" inside variety. But the roasted seeds are the best! I've never had a pumpkin pie made from real pumpkins - I'd sure love to try one!
I had never heard of the cinderella type before, MRSketch09. Larita told me they got their name from their shape...sort of looks like the pumpkin Cinderella rode in. I was familiar w/a sugar pumpkin and the ghost pumpkin, but had never seen the cinderella variety before. It had a beautiful color too. I'm sure there are lots more varieties/species out there I've yet to discover!
Every year Cougar wants to make a pumpkin pie out of a real pumpkin and I am a sneaky mom... We cut it all up and cook it then I replace it with the stuff in the can when he's not looking! Bad mom! Bad MOM!!! I know....
wow, tFStacie, why didn't I think of that!! Hey, it's a handful to do it all...and I know you do lots :) One day, tho, you'll be able to try it...it really is good and tastes very different (imo) from the can. Gotta love your honesty!!!

I agree, Betty, roasted pumpkin seeds are the best! But, y'know, I found a new favorite: roasted butternut squash seeds!!

Mmm, Sounds good.
Also, I never knew there were different species I guess, is what you would say, of pumpkins..

This was good info for me because I tried the 'carving' type and it just wasn't right. Pumpkin pie is a big favorite in my household too!
