Home-made pumpkin pie from scratch (none of this pie-in-a-can junk). Every year I carve to pieces (cut up) 2-4 pumpkins. A couple hours labor but worth the effort

I was going to make pumpkin pie from scratch this year. Didn't grow any pie pumpkins though and the large ones they sell for jack-o-lanterns are bitter. Local store advertised pie pumpkins in their weekly circular a week or so before Halloween so my wife and I went out of our way to get some. However this store never got their shipment and wasn't planning on stocking them at all. Was very disappointed and won't ever return there.
Next season, I'll be planting pie pumpkins in the yard for this purpose.

Or at least that's the version my wife posted...
Nice! Thanx for the sharing - but what is this about 2 CANS of pumpkin? :P
I think I'll share the recipe on JPiC as well - it looks really good - I like the idea of streusel topping - Inventive.
