Pumpkin Time!

It’s that time of year where pumpkin pie is everywhere for Thanksgiving.  Truth be told, I have never cared for pumpkin pie, or any pie for that matter.  I am the type of girl who says, “why have that, when I can have chocolate!”

However, last week I tried a slice of raw pumpkin pie and I was in love!  So I have decided to try and make my own raw pumpkin pie for thanksgiving dinner because it is not only delicious, but it is “Cortney friendly.” 

My first step in creating this master piece is to create raw pumpkin puree.  Here is how I did it..

First you’re going to need pie pumpkins.  Cut the tops off just like you would when you get your pumpkins ready for Halloween.

Next cut the pumpkins in half and clean out all of the seeds.  Once you’ve cleaned your pumpkins you can begin to peel the skin off.

Slice up pumpkin and then cut into chunks.  Then place your pumpkin in your food processor and puree! 

* I would like to note that I tried to use my little food processor however it just was not getting the job done so I threw the pumpkin in my juicer, which worked wonderfully!
