After gutting the pumpkin and baking those delicious seeds, you are going to peel the rind and skin off the pumpkin like you would potatoes. You are definitely going to need a peeler for this job!
After nicely peeling the pumpkin and chopping it into bite size pieces, bring to a boil some hot water with 2 tbsp of pumpkin butter and 1/2 cup of apple cider. Add the pumpkin to the boiling mixture and cook till its nice and soft.
Drain the pumpkin chunks in a strainer very well. After letting it cool for a minute or two, add the pumpkin chunks to your blender*. Then add 4 eggs, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 peeled banana, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp of pumpkin butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cloves, 1 tsp sugar. Blend it all up!
Pour the blended mixture into your pie crusts. You can buy pie crusts at the grocery store or make your own. Today I took a shortcut and used pre made pie crusts. Bake in the oven for 40 mins on 400 degrees. After 35 mins, check your pies. Pull them out and apply "toppings" :) Bake the pie with its topping for the last 5 mins. Remove pies from the oven and let them cool.
Here is one of my pie topping recipes:
"Honey Walnut Pie Topping"
You will need:
a high powered blender*
3-4 cups of walnuts
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp pumpkin butter
1 tbsp sugar
drizzle a little olive oil
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend well. Apply topping to pie AFTER it has baked for 35 mins at 400 degrees. Bake for with topping on for 5 mins.
