Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shortening
3 ½ tablespoons cold water
2 cups mashed, cooked pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Prepare pie crust by mixing together the flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour; add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (you may need only 3 tablespoons, or up to 4 tablespoons). Mix dough and repeat until dough is moist enough to hold together.
  • 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.

In my opinion, there's no contest as to which homemade pumpkin pie is best. No matter how good your canned filling is, it will never match pumpkin pie from scratch. -Christy Harp, Massillon, Ohio

Pumpkin Pie Made with Roasted Fresh Pumpkin image

Traditional pumpkin pie gains depth of flavor with roasted fresh pumpkin and just the right amount of warming spices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes two 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 sugar pumpkin (about 4 pounds), halved, or 3 cups solid-pack canned pumpkin (not pumpkin-pie filling)
1 1/2 recipes Pate Brisee for Pumpkin Pie, divide dough into 3 disks
All-purpose flour, for dusting
7 large eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups evaporated milk
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If using fresh pumpkin, roast it, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet until soft, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely. (Roasted pumpkin can be refrigerated, in an airtight container, overnight.) Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Reserve 1 disk of dough for making leaf decorations. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining disks into 14-inch rounds. Fit rounds into two 10-inch pie plates; trim edges, leaving 1/2-inch overhangs. Fold edges under, and press to seal. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Roll out reserved disk to a 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet, and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Using a small (about 1 inch) leaf-shape cookie cutter or a paring knife, cut leaves from dough. Freeze until cold, about 15 minutes.
  • Brush edges of pie shells with a damp pastry brush; arrange leaves around edges, pressing to adhere. Whisk 1 egg and cream in a small bowl. Brush leaves with egg wash. Cut 2 large circles of parchment; fit into pie shells, extending above edges. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake pie shells 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment; bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks.
  • If using fresh pumpkin, discard seeds. Scoop out flesh, using a large spoon, into a food processor. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure out 3 cups, and transfer pumpkin to a large bowl (reserve any remaining for another use; if using canned pumpkin, add that to the bowl instead). Add brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, remaining 6 eggs, and evaporated milk; whisk until combined.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place pie shells on rimmed baking sheets. Divide pumpkin mixture evenly between shells. Bake until all but centers are set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let pies cool completely on wire racks. Cut into wedges, and serve with whipped cream.

PUMPKIN PIE, USING MILK AND FRESH PUMPKIN



Pumpkin Pie, Using Milk and Fresh Pumpkin image

This is my alteration of a Better Home and Gardens recipe. I use this recipe because it calls for milk instead of evaporated milk, and I made a few small changes like using fresh puree instead of canned, more vanilla and added ginger. Because of the fresh puree it takes longer to bake.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Fresh Pumpkin Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: premade pie crust, sugar pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, kosher salt, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, large eggs, large egg yolk, half & half, egg wash

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 premade pie crust, rolled out to ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick
2 ½ lb sugar pumpkin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon allspice
⅛ teaspoon cloves
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 ¼ cups half & half
egg wash

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.
  • Tuck the dough under the edge, and crimp the edges using the index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on your other hand. Chill in the refrigerator for 14-20 minutes.
  • After chilling the crust, crumple a piece of parchment paper, then spread it out in the center of the crust. Add dried chickpeas or baking beans to the center and spread toward the sides of the crust--this will add weight to keep the crust from puffing up and hold up the walls.
  • Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden and there are no raw doughy spots.
  • Cut the sugar pumpkin into 8 wedges. Use a paring knife or spoon remove all of the seeds and pulp.
  • Place the pumpkin on the prepared baking sheet and dry roast for 15-20 minutes, until tender.
  • Let the pumpkin cool slightly, then peel off the skin using your hands or a spoon.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Add 16 ounces (455 g) of the pumpkin to a food processor, along with the cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and half-and-half. Puree until very smooth, 6-8 minutes.
  • Pour the filling into the prebaked crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes more, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
  • Let cool at room temp for at least 2 hours, or in the fridge overnight
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

THANKSGIVING PUMPKIN PIE (USES FRESH PUMPKIN)



Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie (Uses Fresh Pumpkin) image

This is the one pumpkin pie recipe I keep coming back to year after year. I was at a military ladies' coffee when I first tasted this pie, and it was the most moist & eggy pumkpin pie I had ever eaten. I asked the hostess, Barb, for the recipe, and she shared the recipe with me - which I believe came from her mother. I made my own changes to the recipe over the years and now I have written down my changes so that I can share my version with you. I only use fresh pumpkin in this recipe and it is well worth the little bit of extra effort. PLEASE NOTE: This recipe calls for a DEEP DISH pie plate and intended to be a egg custard textured pie. Even using a deep dish pie plate, you may still find you have a small amount of extra batter, as some deep dish pans are larger and deeper than others (mine fits all of the batter in one pie). You can use whole milks in this if you prefer, however I like the lighter taste of the skim in this. If you only have small pie plates, then you might want to prepare an extra pastry round and divide the batter between two smaller pies.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Pie

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry (9-10-inch)
2 cups freshly cooked pumpkin, seeded, peeled, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated skim milk
1/2 cup skim milk

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



Fresh Pumpkin Pie with Salty Roasted Pepitas image

I love pumpkin pie so much that I've requested it as my birthday "cake" every year since I was about thirteen. I happen to have been born in October, so that helps my choice make some sense. I am also fortunate enough to be married to Dave, whom I refer to as a pie guru. The point is, I've eaten a lot of pumpkin pie, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that this is the best pumpkin pie ever. If someone feels otherwise, I am ready for a throwdown, because I can guarantee that their version does not have a grainy cornmeal crust and salty, crunchy pumpkin seeds on top. And without those elements, there's just no match.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg yolk
Pepitas
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon canola oil
Filling
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
2 large eggs
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Pinch of ground cloves

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.

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly ground)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (freshly ground)
pinch cloves

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. Remove the strip of foil about 20 minutes before the pie is done so that the edge of the crust will be a light golden brown. 5. Cool pie, and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

FRESH PUMPKIN PIE



Fresh Pumpkin Pie image

Prep time does not include time to cook the pumpkins. That step can be done right before making the pie, or any time up to 6 months in advance, if the puree is frozen. This is a combination and modification of recipes from my step-mother and 'Healthy Meals in Minutes'. The recipe calls for fresh-cooked (or frozen) pumpkin puree, which really is best, but you can substitute canned pumpkin if you are pressed for time. I like the squashed-looking 'Cinderella' pumpkins best for cooking with - the kind used for carving really aren't very good to cook with, unfortunately. I bake one or two every Fall and freeze the puree to use in recipes for the rest of the year. I find pumpkin pies made with fresh, rather than canned, pumpkin have a more delicate flavor and smoother texture. Try it! I have used the same amount of all kinds of milk - 1%, 2% whole, whipping cream, evaporated, sweetened condensed - and have also substituted up to 1/2 the amount of pumpkin puree with squash or sweet potato puree and can't tell the difference in the final product.

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled butter
1/4 cup shortening
water
1 large pumpkin (or 2 small pumpkins)
2 cups fresh pumpkin puree (or thawed frozen)
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 cups low-fat milk
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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.
