Hi. I've never made a pumpkin pie's filling from scratch before and was just looking for a little clarification from some of you seasoned veterans. Now I've read all the threads about using squash and this and that, and I may try that sometime but for my first time I'd like to use a real pumpkin, being fall and all. I guess I'm a bit of a purist. Now from what I've read it seems you cut a pumpkin into cubes and bake it, then seperate the flesh from the outside, beat it and add spices, salt, cream/milk and a couple of eggs. Is that the basic idea? And does anyone have any tips to make it come out better? I tried to do a search but I didn't have much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
