There’s hardly anything pumpkin that I don’t love. I think what I like is more the spices that are traditionally used with pumpkin, rather than the pumpkin itself.
After Halloween, Tractor Supply had a whole bin of pie pumpkins, I think they called them sugar pumpkins, for .99 each. I got a few so last week I roasted them and put the pumpkin in the food processor, then froze it . . 2 cups per bag, for making pies. Of course, I had to make a pie.
It was over the weekend when the weather was bad and I didn’t have any of the squirt whipped cream but I had some whipping cream so I whipped up a bit with some powdered sugar. I was feeling quite smug . . pumpkin pie from pumpkins I cooked and whipped cream from cream I whipped! 🙂
Pumpkin Pie
It was so worth the extra work!

…no recipe? It looks delicious….pumpkin pies are our family’s favorite…at least from now til Christmas. I just roasted a pumpkin and a green-striped cushaw today and am waiting for them to cool to make pies for tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I discovered pie pumpkins a few years ago and I agree. The results are so worth the extra effort! Maybe you’ll have pie pumpkins in your garden next year.
Toni in TN says
Read somewhere that you can freeze cream after whipping. Just make little blobs the size you would use on pie, etc. on wax paper, flash freeze and bag it up. I haven’t tried this but plan to the next time I buy whipping cream.

I love making pumpkin puree from sugar pumpkins. It brings out the Earth Mother in me!! We love pumpkin, so I usually make a lot and freeze it and use it throughout the year for pumpkin pies, bread, muffins, cookies and pumpkin fluff. One of our favorite things is a pumpkin dump cake.

will be using Mom’s recipe tonight to take pumpkin pies tomorrow.

Yep, you can’t have pumpkin pie without whipped cream for cryin’ out loud. HA

I always demanded real whipped cream even when I was growing up. It is so yummy. By the way, who ever has any leftover whipped cream…that just doesn’t happen at my house. We all love it so much. Happy Thanksgiving all

Growing up, I insisted on real whipped cream – I would not eat that other stuff – such a spoiled child. At our house, there is never any left over whipped cream – we gobble it all up
Lee says
Looks so yummy! Makes my mouth water. Sure hope our hosts have pumpkin pie tomorrow…even if it isn’t from scratch 😉
Susan says
Oh, rats, I have the pie, but I forgot the whipped cream! Oh, well. Your pie looks scrumptious!
Mel Meister says
I make a pumpkin pudding in the crock pot that tastes just exactly like the filling without the crust. Once I made that, like six years ago, no one wants pumpkin pie anymore. I serve scoops of it out of the crockpot with whipped cream.
