There are two types of canned pumpkin used in baking. There’s spiced canned pumpkin usually baked into pies.

Another is plain canned pumpkin that the cook spices and sweetens before baking using a favorite recipe........most people use this one. Here’s the recipe on the back of the canned pumpkin that most people use b/c it’s so good.

Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie

Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tea salt, tea cinnamon, 1/2 tea ginger, 1/4 tea cloves.

Beat 2 lge eggs, stir in 15 oz can Libby 100% pumpkin puree, sugar/spices.

Slowly stir in 12 oz can Carnation Evaporated Milk, tea vanilla. Bake in 9” deep dish pie pastry, 425 deg 15 min, reset to 350 deg; bake 40-50 min (knife near center comes out clean). Cool on wire rack 2 hours.

Serve chilled. Top with whipped cream just before serving for best results.

I'm still struggling with making my own pie pastry. Just put a raspberry pie in the oven and now I'm ready to start slamming cocktails after the pastry making ordeal. I will pass along this for pumpkin pie:

PECAN OR WALNUT CRUNCH TOPPING

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1-2 teaspoons milk

blend together and sprinkle over top of pumpkin pie just prior to placing in oven. Adds a nice texture and flavor.

We made that bad pumpkin last year. My (then 4 yo) granddaughter wants to do it again this year for the school contest. We also did the puking pumpkin and placed it by the mailbox at the end of the driveway, and it by far was the favorite of everyone that commented.

I use lard for my pie crust and it makes a very flaky, delicious crust. If you would like the recipe, I’ll dig it up for ya. It is a simple process and never fails.

I’ve just started looking for lard in the market. So far all I’ve seen is like a 1 gallon bucket. I’d prefer to start small and see if it works for me. Yes, I’d appreciate any tips on pie crusts. I’m trying figure out how to make it using power tools (dough hooks)

Barf pumpins are always fun


Here are a few other interesting ones too:

Terrific! I was just able to buy pumpkin for the first time in a year.. better stock up while I can. The pumpkin crop was destroyed by something last year and you could not find it in a store anywhere here in the SW, I couldn’t believe my eyes when i spotted it this week.
