• With lightly floured, hands shape dough into a ball. On a lightly floured board roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. With a sharp knife, cut dough 1 1/2 inch larger than the upside-down 8- to 9-inch pie pan. Gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it right-side up onto the pie pan. Unroll, easing dough into the bottom of the pie pan.
• In a large bowl, beat pumpkin with evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt with an electric mixer or immersion blender. Mix well. Pour into a prepared crust. Bake 40 minutes or until when a knife is inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Gently lay the rolled-out pie crust in a pie dish. Trim the excess dough around the sides.

THANKSGIVING PUMPKIN PIE (USES FRESH PUMPKIN)

Steps:

• (To make your own freshly cooked pumpkin, quarter 1-2 small pie pumpkins, de-stem, seed and de-string them. Then steam them in a steamer over boiling water until very tender--the skin will peel right off. Then mash them using a stick blender or a food processor-hand mashing will somtimes produce lumps/strings so unless you like that, go for the stick blender/processor).
• Preheat oven to 400°F and have ready a pie shield and a large rimmed cookie sheet.
• Line a DEEP DISH glass pie plate with the pie pastry round, fluting the edges decoratively as desired.
• Combine in order the pumpkin, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
• Lightly beat eggs together with both milks, then add to the pumpkin mixture, stirring well to combine--it will be rather thin.
• Pour as much filling as you can into unbaked pie pastry and bake at 400°F for 50 minutes (or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out without any goo on it). If there is any extra filling use to fill a smaller mini pie plate or discard.
• NOTE: Set cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are setting your pie plate on in order to catch any drips.
• If the pie edges start overbrowning, place a pie shield or a ring of foil over the edges--this will be needed or not depending on the type of pastry you use.
• Pie should be served chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE WITH SALTY ROASTED PEPITAS

Steps:

• 1. To make the crust, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse 4 or 5 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 2. In a small bowl, mix together the ice water and egg yolk. Add the egg mixture to the food processor, and pulse until the crumbs begin to climb the side of the bowl and hold their shape when pressed together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using your hands-and a little muscle-form the dough into a 5-inch-diameter disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before rolling.
• 3. Unwrap the dough, and using a rolling pin, roll it out on a lightly floured work surface to form an 11-inch circle. Working quickly and carefully, line a 9-inch pie dish with the dough. With your fingertips, make sure that the edge of the pie is smooth and even. Refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 5. Remove the pie dish from the refrigerator. Line the crust with tin foil, making sure to cover the sides, and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate the dish and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the sides are somewhat firm and hold their shape. Remove the foil and bake for 6 minutes, until the bottom of the crust looks dry and the shell is a very pale golden color. Remove the dish from the oven and let the crust cool. Leave the oven on.
• 6. To make the pepitas, stir together the pumpkin seeds, salt, and oil in a small bowl. Scatter the seeds onto a small baking sheet and toast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the seeds are slightly toasted. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pepitas cool.
• 7. To make the filling, mix together the half-and-half and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the pumpkin puree and mix well. Then add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves, and mix well. The filling will be very runny. Pour the filling into the pie shell. Sprinkle the pepitas on the filling.
• 8. Bake for 25 minutes. Rotate the dish and bake for 20 more minutes, or until the center of the pie jiggles just a bit when you touch the oven rack. Transfer the dish to a wire rack and let the pie cool completely.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Crust: Cut Crisco into flour and salt until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons water can be added, if necessary.) Gather pastry into ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured cloth covered board. Roll pastry two-inches larger than inverted 9-inch pie plate. Fold pastry into quarters; place in plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim edge of pastry one-inch from rim of plate. Fold and flute edges. Pie: Preheat oven to 375„a. 1. Cut pumpkin in pieces and remove seeds. Boil until tender (like you would potatoes). Drain and cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Either mash, or puree in small batches in a blender. Firmly pack pumpkin when measuring, being sure to drain off excess liquid. 2. In a large bowl, slightly beat eggs and add evaporated milk. Add brown sugar, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin puree. Stir well after each addition. 3. Pour mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Place a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning. 4. Bake 375 degrees for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

FRESH FROZEN PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 2. Stir together the filling ingredients.
• 3. Divide equally into 4 air tight freezer safe containers and store in freezer until needed.
• 4. To make one 10" pie, defrost one container and beat together with the milk and eggs.
• 5. Pour into pie shell and bake for 1 1/2 hours until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• 1. Pumpkin puree: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the whole pumpkin, if it will fit, or 1/2 pumpkin with seeds scooped out cut side down, in the oven and bake until a sharp knife easily pierces through to the seed cavity, about 1 1/2 hours.
• 2. When cool enough to handle, peel away the skin with a knife. If not already done, cut pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Puree in a food processor or mash by hand with a potato masher. (I freeze any leftovers in 2 1/4 cup portions in quart zip-lock bags. Most recipes using pumpkin puree use 2 cups and somehow there is always a little less after it is frozen.).
• 3. Crust: Mix flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender until well blended and the texture of course meal. Add just enough very cold water for the dough to hold together, about 1/3 cup, and mix with a fork, just until combined. Do not over mix or use too much water or the crust will be tough.
• 4. Roll dough into a circle 1 - 2 inches larger than your pie plate. Transfer dough to pie plate and prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork. Line the crust with a sheet of aluminum foil folded and crimped so it covers the bottom and sides of the crust up to about 1/2 inch from the top of the pie plate. Roll or crimp the edges of the dough. The finished edges should be held up by the aluminum foil.
• 5. Place ceramic pie weights or dried beans on top of the aluminum foil to keep the crust flat while baking. Bake at 350 degrees on the center oven rack for 15 - 20 minutes. The crust should stay up on its own when the aluminum foil and weights are removed, but shouldn't be browned. Set aside to cool.
• 6. Filling: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, brown and granulated sugars, and all-purpose flour. Add spices; stir to blend. Whisk in milk, egg whites, egg, and vanilla. Pour the pumpkin mixture into prepared crust.
• 7. Bake until filling is set but still slightly loose in the center, about 40 - 45 minutes. If the crust is getting done before the filling, cover crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil. Place pie on wire rack and cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until serving.
