PUMPKIN PIE FILLING



Pumpkin Pie Filling image

I am often astounded at how few people know how to make pumpkin pie filling from scratch. In my opinion, it makes all the difference in the world when you're looking to make a truly spectacular pie for Thanksgiving or any autumnal dinner. Remember: A pumpkin is a squash, and the meat can be prepared in the same way any other large squash can. When shopping for your pumpkin, the standard "Veggie Rule" applies: Smaller specimens tend to pack a lot more flavor, and the heavier pumpkin will be denser. Little pie pumpkins are available in the fall, should weight about a pound and a half to two pounds a piece, and are the ones that you'll need for this recipe. You can use the big ones, but they just don't pack the same punch. Also, just as a tip, keep some exam gloves handy for easy clean-up after de-seeding your pumpkins.

Time 55m

Yield 32 ounces, dep. on pumpkin

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 fresh pumpkin
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
fresh ground nutmeg
fresh ground cinnamon
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off of the pumpkins in a circle, just like you would for making a jack-o-lantern.
  • Quarter the pumpkins from the top down and scoop out the seeds and tendrils. (Keep seeds for pepitas if you like.).
  • Place the pumpkin shells meat-side up on a large cookie sheet or other sided baking dish.
  • Smear the inner surfaces of the pumpkins with the butter.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar and spices, including a small bit of salt, over the shells.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until you can easily stab through the flesh with a fork.
  • Let stand to cool.
  • Gently cut away the outer skin. (This is great for compost!).
  • Puree, mash, or process the meat to the desired consistency for the recipe you're preparing - very smooth for a mousse, less so for a standard pie.

Tips:

  • Substitute evaporated milk or half and half for milk to create a creamier texture.

  • If you don't have ground cinnamon, use a cinnamon stick and grate it into the filling.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a more complex flavor.
  • Chill the pie for at least two hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of sour cream.
