In the coming weeks, the pages of Crows in the Kitchen will be filled with sweet and savory fall delights, I’m sure.  One of the best fall delights is none other than Pumpkin Pie. Really, anything pumpkin related makes my heart shiver. This past week, I got a beautiful Sugar Pumpkin, whose flesh produced exactly two cups of puree for a pie. Although, the pie was not the best consistency, as it was my first from scratch, the flavors were outstanding.  Billy even learned that pumpkin pie is not, naturally, orange. Blown away.

By December, my squash honing capabilities will be perfected, as will all of ours following this challenge!

I hereby issue Crow Decree #1:

Post your best from scratch pumpkin desert! None of this canned,pureed, colored, smooth pumpkin mess. I demand Chunks! And Imperfections! And messy stories and pictures to boot. May the best pie prevail.
