Make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin - CHECK!
___________
Honestly, I never really knew that people ever made pumpkin pies from a REAL pumpkin. Canned pumpkin hails at my house.
____________
The pumpkins used are not normal carving pumpkins. They are referred to as
pie pumpkins
or
sugar pumpkins,
or a similar name.

Personally, I think that everyone should try making food/meals as
homemade
as possible as often as possible simply because it's
always better.
That's why our
grandma's
food is so delicious- she's got all the
secret homemade recipes!
With my grandma's homemade crust, this pie was a hit at my house. I am begging
everyone to try making a homemade real pumpkin pie at some point this fall
(Thanksgiving is comin' up fast!).
Not only does it taste better, but honestly,
what's better that having the feeling of doing something from scratch and having everyone love it??
To me, having people adore the food that I dedicated extra time to is... priceless.

Here is the recipe that I used.
Pumpkin Pie (scroll down a bit for the link to the actual recipe)
She made a canned and real pumpkin pie and took them
"to the streets"
to see which was preferred.
Guess which pie won??
