you may have heard that last year canned pumpkin was VERY high in price and often unavailable due to a poor crop. i have read that it will be available and reasonably priced this year. so it may be a good time to stock up for pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter, etc.
it is VERY nutritious as well as delicious~
i have never made pumpkin pie from scratch with a real pumpkin, but i have a large crop of them so i'm going to try it out. and a good substitute is butternut squash, they make a pie that is just as good~
i have butternut squash from my garden also, i cut them in half lengthwise, put in a little butter after scooping out the seeds, and sprinkle with brown sugar and nutmeg~~ scrumptious!
