I have used the same Pumpkin pie recipe for as long as I can remember.
It is great and can be varied in ways to create differant tastes, colours and textures!
1
Peel and deseed pumpkin, remove any stringy bits and cut into small pieces or slices.
Steam until soft and tender, approx 20 mins.
2
Roll out your pastry and line your pie dish, making sure you grease the dish first with a little margarine.
3
Put sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.
4
Add the spices and milk to the bowl.
5
Put the steamed pumpkin into a blender and blend until smooth.
6
Add pumpkin to the mixing bowl, mix thoroughly or blend to mix.
7
Pour mixture into your pastry lined pie dish(s).
Bake in a hot oven Gas7 for 15 mins,
then reduce the heat to Gas 4 for approx 30 mins or until the middle is set, does not wobble when you move the pie.
8
Serve hot or eat cold, your preferance as both ways are delicious.
Enjoy :)
