What another comment said – Jo makes you look like a star cook/baker. Her recipes are easy to follow and always delicious. This pie was no exception. It was my first pumpkin pie and a big hit at Christmas dinner. Thank you and happy holidays!

In reply to Luisa. Hi Luisa! You can use fresh pumpkin! You can usually roast it until cooked and then use the same amount of pumpkin, flesh only, as asked for in the recipe.

Hi Joanna,
I would like to give a try and make this pumpkin pie since I have a big fresh pumpkin,but I’m just confused about the fresh pumpkin quantity I should use.
Many thanks for your yummy recipes

In reply to Joanna Cismaru. Thank you. I thought that a can of pumpkin was especially for pie making and it had spices already. I did not realise it was straight pumpkin.

In reply to Christine Adams.

Here you go:
1) First halve the pumpkin and scoop out all the seeds.
2) Heat an inch of water in a saucepan till boiling. In the meantime, slice the pumpkin into chunks. Boil these pieces of pumpkin briefly before reducing the heat, covering and allowing to simmer for 30 minutes.
3) Drain and cool before removing the pumpkin from the peel. Mash it all up and you’re good to go!

Hi from Australia. I would very much like to try a pumpkin pie. We see it in movies and tv shows all the time. One problem though, we, in Australia, cannot purchase canned pumpkin. Do you have a recipe using fresh pumpkin please?
