Ingredients
3 cups of fresh pumpkin puree1 cup granulated sugar sugar2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Directions
This recipe calls for fresh pumpkin. I cut open the pumpkin, remove all the seeds and stringy material, cut it up in even sized chunks and place them in a pot with water. I boil the pumpkin on medium heat until the pumpkin is soft. I drain the water from the pumpkin and let the pumpkin cool to the touch.

Use a spoon to scrape the insides of the pumpkin from the shell. I use a cuisinart with a blade to puree the pumpkin.

In a stew pot, combine 3 cups of puree with 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Cook the mixture on low-medium heat until it thickens up, about a half an hour.

This recipe makes enough for 2 pies. Note: I only have to add eggs and evaporated milk to make a filling.
