That's a good one, but it called for canned pumpkin.......

Just use a tried and true recipe for it except use your own pumpkin puree. I just got 4 sugar pumpkins given to me so I will use this recipe

Just add the same amount of your own pumpkin as would be from the can. I'm assuming you want to use your own cooked pumpkin. It turns out fine.

Last time I made one from scratch I did just that. Baked, scraped then pureed the pumpkin meat. Substitute it right int the recipe.

Yes, just substitute fresh cooked pumpkin for the canned pumpkin. Forgot to add that

and just so's ya know.. a small can of libby's is just a little over 1 3/4c pureed pumpkin. make sure you let the liquid drain out first so its not too soupy

Very good point. I line a sieve with muslin (or a couple of layers of cheesecloth; a coffee filter would probably also do the trick), pour the pureed pumpkin in, and refrigerate overnight. You will be amazed at the amount of liquid that drains out! Save it for soup, but you don't want in your pie.

I didn't realize you could use regular pumpkin for canned pumpkin....Thanks!
