I started with two small pumpkins, cut them in half, scooped out the seeds and baked the pumkins in the oven to soften them.
I roasted the seeds and had a tasty snack for later too! (^O^)
After the pumpkins finally cooled I scooped the flesh out of them and made a puree in the food processor.
It doesn't look like much in the picture, but I ended up with two containers full of puree. I had more than enough puree to make the pie filling, so I got to make a lot of tasty pumpkin dishes later with the extra puree. ≧(´▽｀)≦
I made a gingersnap crust for the pie. I had a hard time pressing the crust into the pie dish and it was a little uneven, but It tasted so good!
Then I made the filling, filled the pie, and baked it.
It doesn't look the best, but it tasted so good! The pumpkin pie I made later this week came out nicely too. (Even if it did have a crack in it ゛(｀ヘ´#)) It was a lot of work to make homemade pumpkin pie, but it was so worth it. I will definitely make another one next time I get my hands on some more pumpkins. (Not the one we have now- it is NOT a sweet pumpkin.
