Pumpkin Pie is a type of dessert pie made from pumpkin. This delicious dessert is usually made between autumn to early winter when pumpkins are just about right to harvest. However, due to the availability of canned pumpkins, this delightful pie dessert can be made all year round.
The procedure in making pumpkin pie is simple; it is almost the same as making a sweet potato pie. The ingredients are not costly and should be readily available in your local groceries.
I used the canned pumpkin for this recipe, but you can also use fresh pumpkin if it is available. All you need to do is boil the pumpkin until it becomes soft then mash it the same way you do with mashed potato.
I like pumpkin pie for its simplicity. It may not be something fancy or elegant, but there is something in it that makes me feel comfortable.

Don’t put it in the frig. It will get watery! Always let it be served warm and you can keep it out and covered with foil. Mine last for about 5 days.
