On this evening's agenda: pumpkin pies! One with walnuts, one without. :)

Do you use canned pumpkin, or do you cook your own?
Front-Ranger:
I didn't grow any this year...the spring was too cold for them to germinate. So, it was Libby's.
It's a good thing I always bake two at a time. When I was taking one out of the oven, the foil pie dish buckled and the crust broke apart. I took the other one out veeeerrrryyy carefully. The first pie has been turned into pumpkin crumble to be fed to my grandchildren. Further disguised with lots of whipped cream on top.

My mother always cooked her own. I remember her cutting it in chunks, and at some point in the process mashing the pumpkin with a potato masher.
She also used glass pie plates. I don't remember what size, but they were probably nine inches. She always had more than enough pumpkin to fill the pie plate, so she would bake the rest in what I guess were custard dishes.
Whipped cream is good on pumpkin pie, crumbled or not. :D

Tomorrow at Thanksgiving meal, mom and I will begin plotting our holiday cookie baking schedule.
