Answers:
The kind of pumpkin you should use for pie is a "pie pumpkin"!. They're about 8 inches in diameter, and smaller than the carving pumpkin kind!. They're also sweeter and grainier-textured than the carving kind!. Just regular run-of-the-mill pumpkins are used for carving!. I think they're called "Jack-o-lantern" pumpkins, actually, on the label!.

Canned pumpkin is actually not pumpkin but a type of squash!. But, of course you can make pumpkin pie out of a "carving pumpkin" It is harder to work with because of the high water content you need to boil it down quite a bit to be equivalent to the water content of canned pumpkin!.
Unfortunately, most recipes call for canned pumpkin!. I would find a different recipe that calls for fresh if you plan on using fresh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
