Great looking pumpkin pie. I can see you enjoy a generous scoop of whipped cream just like I do.

A crust I've made, but I have never cooked a real pumpkin for pumpkin pie. I'm impressed!

Your pie looks wonderful to me. That's the prettiest pie crust I've ever seen :-). Your husband is a lucky man. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Your pie is gorgeous! GREAT JOB!! I like using fresh pumpkin. I've used the wine bottle trick before too, lol.

Blessings!

Nothing like a pie using fresh pumpkin! I like to sub pumpkin pie spice for the individiual spices sometimes, too. Easier to keep one fresh jar of pumpkin pie spices than several fresh jars of the other individual spices (that one might not use often). "Tickled to death" ... I'm a Southern girl myself, so I chuckled at your "Southern expression alert." Happy to find your blog through Holiday Food Fest!

Wonderful step by step pictures! I always have more courage to try new recipes when I see what each step looks like! :)

Your pie looks great! Don't try to roll out the crust to perfectly. Remember a patched crust is a perfect crust. In other words to much fooling around trying to roll the crust perfect, makes for a tough crust. I roll mine on waxed paper. It makes for an easy clean up.

Liz--hey, I was a working gal for so long, convenience was my middle name! Now I have the time to play catch up on my kitchen skills.

Beth, I've already mentioned both of those items to my hubby--and he readily agreed, since that will ensure more pies in the future!

Thanks Lauren--I usually use the Pillsbury refrigerated crust that you just roll onto to pie pan, all pretty and smooth--so this looked a bit rough compared to that!

What? Never made a pie crust! What am gonna do with you girl?
Just kidding - it looks great!

I think your crust looks fantastic! I've seen some bad (gluten free) crusts, and yours is far better!

The pie itself looks delicious as well!!

Yay! A wonderful start. :-) Just make sure you practice those pie-making muscles or they'll get all out of shape again! :-D And yes! Put "rolling pin" (Make sure it's wooden!) and "pastry cloth" on your wishlist for Christmas this year! :-D

Anyway, I'm proud of your for tackling it! Go you!
