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?

[cookingupastory]

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!!

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.

PS: The canned pumpkin is much easier... ;-)

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.

[HighPlainsWoman]

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 like your style :D !!

This was very informative. I've always wondered how to make pumpkin pie from scratch. You're a great instructor!

[evilkate666]

i thought that as well...but then i noticed that i was laughing....lol i am going to hell!!!

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.
