So whatever pumpkins you might choose to decorate your front stoop, are edible.This is the best pumpkin pie EVER! I have made it for years with hazelnuts. Y’all, these are all heirloom varieties and not only are they edible – they’re WAY better tasting and often far more economical than the sugar/pie pumpkin the grocery store touts as your fresh pumpkin option. (Those ones are called Red Kuri and they have a magical flavor resembling roasted chestnut) The smallish blue-green ones are called a blue hubbard, and they are prized by chefs for their creamy texture. “Fairytale” or “Cinderella” pumpkins (they’re actually French! Their proper name is Rouge vif D’Etampes), big long necked green ones you probably think are a squash(originally from Italy!), little red-orange ones resembling the size and shape of a football. Often times leading up to Halloween you will see a huge variety of pumpkins being sold as decorative. The pumpkin that is specifically bred for ‘Libby’ pumpkin puree? Its got a white skin, nothing like the orange that we associate with pumpkin. Lots of things that Americans would probably consider squash are actually pumpkin. They will produce a very stringy flesh that doesn’t have much flavor. Just don’t use the jack-o-lantern types of pumpkins. Don’t let pumpkin season pass you by without stocking up for the year. You can roast them and save the roasted flesh in your freezer to use all year. The more orange the pumpkin on the outside, the more orange your pie will be, but the long neck pumpkins will be light orange with a wonderful taste. Many of the heirlooms have sweet, wonderful flesh. You don’t have to use just the sugar or pie pumpkins. Pumpkin is a flavor canvass that you can paint on yourself.

And sometimes I love it as plain as it comes from the field. I may cook this pie before Thanksgiving based on how good it smells now! I know my method is not as minimalist as this calls but while minimalist is great for many things, I like to experiment too. I’ll mash it and freeze it to make Thanksgiving pie-baking easier. Today, in mid-October I have an heirloom pumpkin I bought in the grocery store baking with ALL of those spices. Any flavor that would compliment pumpkin for pie. But I have also roasted this face up at 325 with spices like cinnamon, ginger, baking cocoa, cloves, you name it. This recipe sites 350 face down, which is absolutely perfect.
