Pumpkin pie

10 years ago

Ibought the pumpkin pie filling in the can. I,'m not sure how to use it.I meant to make the pie with pumpkin purÃ¯Â¿Â½e. Do you have to cook this filling? I made the graham cracker crust which is already baked.

Clairdo, there should be directions on the side of the can. Yes, it needs to be cooked and, I think, two eggs need to be added. It's not intended for a graham cracker crust but, maybe, somebody has a recipe? Try checking the Libby's website? That happened here a few years ago. I sent DH to the store for Libby's pumpkin puree and he came home with the pie filling.

Pumpkin pie filling is a custard, and can be baked without any crust at all, if you want. I'd prebake the graham cracker crust first just to make sure it doesn't get too soggy from the filling.

It should be delicious. Two of my favorite tastes. In our family, pie crust is a garnish that no one really likes, so we've tried all kinds of different strategies and combinations for "crusts".

Martha Stewart says (??!!) this for her pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press crust mixture into bottom and up sides of a 10-inch metal pie plate. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake crust until dry and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Enjoy

Thanks, Martha. I seldom have heavy cream on hand either, but have substituted whole milk in custards and it turned out OK, so this probably would too. I like the addition of brown sugar and I love cloves. I still think Ricky's maple syrup addition sounds wonderful, though, mmmm. Colleen, kobocha is called "Kent pumpkin"? I've heard of both, and never put them together as one thing. I have grown kobocha, and thought that Kent Pumpkin was just another pumpkin, so didn't even try that, and here I was, growing them all along. Annie

Colleen, thanks for that reminder. I have squash in the fridge that I need to use up and I'm thinking maybe a custard type dessert, minus the crust. Grandma used to bake pumpkin pie in custard cups because I never wanted the crust, so I'm thinking that might be the way to use up that leftover squash. I used to use the Libby's recipe, but I've found a 4 egg pumpkin pie from Genius Kitchen and that's become the family favorite. I've also found that squash or sweet potatoes make a reasonable substitute, and so I quit growing pumpkins and use that space for something else, like butternut squash. I can purchase the "sugar pie" pumpkins at my local farmer's market, if I decide that's what I want. Since the "great pumpkin shortage" a couple of years ago, I quit using canned pumpkin at all.

I used to make Martha Stewart’s pumpkin cheesecake because my oldest son loves it. I made my own pumpkin purée from a pie pumpkin, but haven’t made it lately because it’s lots of work. I saw this recipe recently in my NYT recipes email, and thought it sounded good and a little different. I’m not making it for Thanksgiving but might try it at Christmas when I have more time. https://www.richmond.com/food-drink/recipes/pumpkin-pie-reaches-its-gingery-peak-spiced-pumpkin-pie/article_31c71217-886c-59ed-a8ef-b6565350295b.html

Dave, I haven't tried that particular recipe yet, but I do know that Lars has experience as a pastry chef and so I'm not surprised at all that it was good, although somewhat unusual with the cottage cheese. I'm glad it turned out well. Annie
