Welcome to the community omeganet. =)
As of yet there is no way to private message within the kraft site, and posting email addresses is against TOS. Could you possibly post the recipe here for us all?
Thanks!

I do use fresh pumpkin and the pie is great. The trick is to process the pumpkin after is is cooked in a food mill. It makes it sooo smooth. Perfect for your pie. I can give you my recipie if you are interested, just email me. I saw here the topic was basically about it being graininy or stiringy, yuk.. Try a food mill.
first bake in oven on cookie sheet, cover with foil so it stays soft. 425 for about 1 hour. take out , filling comes right out of shell. place in bowl. scoop some in your food mill and grind away. Yummy.

I also have tried to make a pumpkin pie with a fresh pumpkin and without good results. I would stick with canned pumpkin for a good pumkin pie.

hi, i'm cookie9120, i'm also new to this community as well.
my suggestion is to try the recipe that vanessa suggested and if that doesn't work (which i'm sure it'll turn out GREAT. then used the standard recipe off of the can of pumpkin pie fillings.

omamcm, Thats why I'v never used fresh pumpkin. My Mom used to process her own, after I left home, and for the first couple of years I wouldn't eat her pumpkin pies,even though she made the best!!!, because the pumpkin (at least to me) was so grainy that it looked like it had been ate once,yuk!, finally she got it smooth enough that I would try it ( no, she didn't know that, ). It was really good, but I'am not sure that it was any better then Libby's. I to would like to know how to fix if so thats it's really smooth. annaskf

I have tried several times in my 1/2 century of cooking, to process "pie pumpkins" so that the smoothness and moisture content is comparable to commercially canned pumpkin. I have not been successful. Pie pumpkins are much smaller, darker orange and richer tasting than regular Halloween type pumpkins. It's a lot of work to put into a product, even if you have the equipment, such as a fairly large container for baking or steaming, a colander, a food mill and or ricer, strainers, both metal and paper or cloth, when, to my taste, a better product is readily available so inexpensively. Then there's the problem of disposing of the waste material. The fibers tender to mess up the garbage disposer the way celery strings do. If you put the stuff in the garbage it stinks, if your in the country, the seeds come up and you have pumpkins all over the place if you don't have a compost pile. If someone else has perfected a method for preparing pumpkin, I'm all ears, even though the bought pumpkin really is "real pumpkin".

Here are some different ways to cook your pumpkin: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Cook-Fresh-Pumpkin
I've tried several of these methods but like it best, if I have the time, when I bake the pumpkin halves. There is a lot of difference in the taste of the pumpkins and you want to make sure you buy a variety that's grown to be cooked. If I can find good pumpkins I'll cook several and freeze the cooked pumpkin in the right amount for pies later.
It's strange, but the recipe I like the best comes on the side of the pumpkin spice bottle. It's the easiest, too.

Hi chefal95681, I haven't used freah pumpkin to make pies with. Do you know how to process the pumpkin? If so after doing that just use a pie recipe. I prefer Libby's Pumpkin pie recipe. I tried to copy & paste but it wouldn't let me, so go to www.verybestbaking.com and click on Libby's pumpkin and you can get the recipe. I have tried several and now olnly use this one. lots of luck, annaskf
