I've always wanted to make a REAL pumpkin pie. Not with the pumpkin that comes in a can, but from an actual round pumpkin that is freshly picked from the vine. Well, a few weeks ago I was able to check that off my list of things to do before I die. I went to a pumpkin patch with some friends and saw the baking pumpkins and knew I had to do it. Here's the recipe I used as well as some pictures of the process...ENJOY!!
Honey Pumpkin Pie
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 unbaked pie shell
Combine pumpkin, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Add eggs and milk. Pour into pie shell and bake at 425ยบ for 40 to 45 minutes. Makes 6-8 servings.
(a little warning, I haven't edited the pictures yet, so don't judge)
