Okay, so happy belated thanksgiving. This will be handy next year :)
I'm sick, I've had a terrible cold but also a terribly busy weekend, which may have exacerbated my symptoms...but dammit I was on dessert duty, and what is tradition without a little pumpkin pie? I was going to buy the pie but doing an audit of my pantry, I had all of the ingredients here already, so why not? |
| With a bit of whip cream, perfect (actually, after I took the photo i covered it in the stuff...) |
So, I'll confess, this is about as shortcut-homemade as you can do it. It's not from scratch (really). I've done it before. I've roasted, peeled, pitted, pureed, strained the pumpkin, ground my spices, got the homemade pastry going (which I kind of suck at btw) and whipped some heavy cream (no cans here!) but you know what? It's great, but I would be inclined to argue not really worth the work.
PANTRY PUMPKIN PIE (makes 2 pies)
Inspired by the recipe from the ED Smith pumpkin can with a few tips from the joyofbaking.com website. I call it that because most of the stuff came from my pantry. :)
