New Video: How to Make Homegrown Pumpkin Pie

Since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I have a treat for you! I shot a video on how to make a pumpkin pie with your very own homegrown pumpkins. And it’s OK if you didn’t grow your own because there’s always next year, you know. In the meantime, you can find pie pumpkins at the grocery store.

I usually grow either sugar pumpkins or New England pie pumpkins. Those are for the express purpose of making REAL pies. No Libby’s filling or store-bought pies for me. No sir! Once you taste a pie made with your homegrown pumpkin, you will never go back. They are just so much more flavorful.

I also share some ideas on how to cook, bake or otherwise prepare winter squash for various types of dishes. Perhaps this is your first time growing them but you’re not sure what to do with them. Or you see these squash in stores but they’re also a bit of a puzzle. So this will give you some options.

OK, here’s the video. I hope you will enjoy it and I’d love to hear what you think (Susan@SusansintheGarden.com). Happy Thanksgiving!
