Hubbys Stovetop Pumpkin Pie Filling Recipes

HOMEMADE FRESH PUMPKIN PIE

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.

PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

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.

HUBBY'S STOVETOP PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

Steps:

• 1. Mix everything together in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Pour into baked pie crusts and chill until completely set. Makes 2 pies.
• 2. Note: Make sure you cook it until it is good and thick. If not cooked long enough, it will not set up in the refrigerator. It will still taste good, but won't get stiff or cut well. You'll end up with a loose pumpkin pudding.
