Tips:
- Pick the right pumpkin: Sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins are best for pies, as they have a sweet, dense flesh that holds its shape well when cooked.
- Roast the pumpkin yourself: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast it in the oven or in a microwave.
- Make sure the pumpkin puree is smooth: Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin until it is completely smooth. This will help the pie filling to be smooth and creamy.
- Don't overcook the pie filling: The pie filling should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooking will make the filling tough and rubbery.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the filling to set properly and prevent it from being runny.
