Honestly, it takes 5 hours to stew the pumpkin for pie, so you might want to buy a can instead. Make sure you have sugar pumpkins, not jack o' lantern pumpkins. Start with 10 pounds of pumkins. Clean out seeds and guts. Peel the skin off with a peeler or paring knife. Cut pumpkin into cubes and place in a stainless steel or iron pot with 1 cup of water. Bring it to a low boil stirring often. If it burns, it's ruined.
All the juice and water will boil away. When it reaches the texture of applesauce, turn the heat up for 10 minutes to dry it out-- keep stirring! Remove from heat and take out 2 cups for pie--the remainder can be eaten with butter and is pretty good.
Pie: Have your crust ready.
preheat oven to 425
in a bowl, beat 2 eggs, 2/3 cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 1/4 cup of whole milk or half & half, 1 pinch each of cinnamom, cloves, nutmeg and ginger (or use pumpkin pie spice according to directions on jar)
pour mixture into the pie shell, and bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake till crust is brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Hope this helps you out!
Yes, you only need 2 cups or so of pumkin. 2 pumpkins should be plenty.
Yes, two medium size pumpkins should be enough for one small pumpkin pie. The best way to empty the pumpkin is to scrape all the guts out.
Good luck,
wow
That sounds like more than enough
so buy a couple of the rolled pie crusts (they keep well)
NOW
slice the pumpkin remove the seeds and strings and lightly scrape the inside clean quarter it an remove the stem
bake on a foil lined cookie sheet 350F approx 35min
test by sticking a fork in easily. Remove Cool
Scrape the meat into a bowl (blender) and puree,
Done
One can of pumpkin is 15oz and = 1 3/4 c
makes a 9in pie....????
good LUCK. sounds like 6 to 8 pies from here ?
