Can regular pumpkins be used for pies?

Yes, you can! But it probably won’t taste as good. You won’t get as much pumpkin out of one of a jack-o-lantern pumpkin as you would a pie pumpkin of the same size. And it will probably have a different flavor.

Regarding this, is pumpkin pie better with fresh pumpkin?

While the two pies both got good marks, the canned pumpkin did win out. The canned option had a more powerful pumpkin flavor and a silkier texture.

Likewise, people ask, what part of the pumpkin is used for pie? Slice the pumpkin in half lengthwise (that’s stem to base). I kept my stem on, but if it’s easier for you, you can chop the very top of the pumpkin off first. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy “guts” from the inside of the pumpkin and set them aside.

Then, what is the equivalent of fresh pumpkin to canned?

Instructions. You can substitute canned pumpkin in almost any dish in which you’d use fresh. When you substitute canned pumpkin for fresh, use the same amount, so for example, use 1 cup of canned in place of 1 cup of fresh pumpkin.

Can you use a jack-o-lantern pumpkin for pumpkin pie?
