Hi Luisa! You can use fresh pumpkin! You can usually roast it until cooked and then use the same amount of pumpkin, flesh only, as asked for in the recipe.

Hi Joanna,
I would like to give a try and make this pumpkin pie since I have a big fresh pumpkin,but I’m just confused about the fresh pumpkin quantity I should use.
Many thanks for your yummy recipes

Thank you. I thought that a can of pumpkin was especially for pie making and it had spices already. I did not realise it was straight pumpkin.

Here you go:
1) First halve the pumpkin and scoop out all the seeds.
2) Heat an inch of water in a saucepan till boiling. In the meantime, slice the pumpkin into chunks. Boil these pieces of pumpkin briefly before reducing the heat, covering and allowing to simmer for 30 minutes.
3) Drain and cool before removing the pumpkin from the peel. Mash it all up and you’re good to go!

You might need to bake it a bit longer, each oven is quite different.
