We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer. It was smallish. I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October. November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin." So, thanks to google, I found a Website , and, voila! Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies! No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
