I love Autumn, it’s time to go pumpkin picking and make yummy pumpkin recipes! The classic has to be the traditional pumpkin pie recipe, although not a favourite for everyone we love to eat it in our house. We haven’t made pumpkin pie often because we only make it around thanksgiving and Halloween but when we do it’s tasty!
If you’re new to making pumpkin pie don’t worry. This is a super easy pumpkin pie recipe that everyone can follow. You will need a pumpkin for this. In the UK pumpkin puree isn’t something that’s sold in most shops so it’s better to make your own.
How To Make Pumpkin Puree?
So I’ll go over it brief because I have my own pumpkin puree recipe that you can check out. When making a pumpkin pie recipe you want to make sure you make puree properly. Make sure all the outer skin is off the pumpkin as it won’t blend well and will give the pie a bad taste.
Also, you want to chop it into bitesize pieces so that you can blend it easily. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting around quite a bit of time to make sure it blends well. The pumpkin pie recipe can take a while so you don’t want to take even longer making the puree!
