Directions
Scratch Pumpkin Pie,This pie has an old fashion look and taste to it because use a fresh pumpkin not pumpkin from the can. I make this recipe myself because I like squash and have always liked the smell of the jack-o-lantern as a child. I have also used an acorn squash. This is for the person who likes to “putter” in the kitchen. Yes, it’s time consuming. This recipe will make one pie plus one quart pumpkin custard see directions.,Is it supposed to be really liquidy? Like before cooked i mean.. its really liquidy,Thank you, absolutely delicious, and TOO easy 🙂
