Homemade pumpkin pie is a classic Thanksgiving dessert that brings back all the memories of family Thanksgivings of the past. Using can pumpkin puree, you can cut down the time while still adding all your own whole ingredients and all the love.

Thanksgiving just would not be the same without one pumpkin pie regardless if your family also wants other traditional Thanksgiving Pies. In our home, we always make an apple pie too as that has become the favorite of the younger adults in our family. This year we have had a request for a lemon meringue also a traditional family pie just not usually made for Thanksgiving dinner.

When we were first married I would buy a pumpkin pie pumpkin. It took some doing to peal and then boil as you would a potato or you can bake in the oven like acorn squash.

Cut in half scoop out the seeds. (save them for later) put on a baking pan cut side down and bake at 400° for 40 to 45 minutes. Let the halves cool, scoop out the inside, and put in a food processor or blender and puree.

Homemade does not mean that everything has to be made from scratch. But soon after I became a mother and had little ones in the house I used the basic Libby canned pumpkin. (not the mix).

I use the recipe that is on the back of the can and it works perfectly every time. I will admit my mother did use the Libby pumpkin pie mix. I just like to add my own spices.

You can make my homemade pie crust click here for the recipe or you can use a pre-made pie crust.

Homemade pumpkin pie is all about the love you add as you teach the younger generation all of the family traditions around pies for the holidays.  It is up to you how much from scratch you want your recipe. Just take the time to teach your little ones that pies out of the oven are one of the best family traditional smells.
