Pumpkin Pie
This year I used an opaque color
Last year was green and still have one on the back steps
It's faded some but you get the idea. 2 years ago it was the orange but bumpy pumpkins and of course still got one of those
It sat on the back steps for a year. Time to replace the green one?
The green one is pretty soft and will go to the big composter.
Anyway, Pie recipe
2 cups pumpkin puree
Start with a pumpkin. Just one about 3 lbs will make enough for 2 pies or buy 2 every year like me and watch one rot?
Cut it in half stem to bottom. Remove, wash, dry and save seeds, don't worry about that stringy stuff for now now.
Place cut side down on a pan and cook in the oven 1 hour @325F
Remove stringy material with spoon gently scraping.
Remove the meat and mash in a bowl.
Measure out 2 cups and add
2 eggs
1 12oz can evaporated milk
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Blend together and pour into a frozen pie crust I can't make one near the quality of frozen.
Cook @400F 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Add Cool Whip and it's a meal?
