Recipe notes & preparation tips
This recipe replaces much of the sugar normally found in a pumpkin pie recipe with maple syrup. Use only real 100% maple syrup, not maple-flavored pancake syrup, as their sugar content is different. You can also substitute ⅔ cup brown sugar mixed with ⅓ cup milk for the maple syrup.
Prepare the raw pumpkin by skinning and cutting into 1 inch cubes. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour and then turn off the heat. Leave the pumpkin in the oven for another hour or two, which will reduce the moisture content. The pumpkin may also be steamed but may end up with too much moisture, resulting in a runny pie. A 10 inch (25 cm)-diameter pumpkin will make 4–6 pies. The pumpkin may also be baked whole and skinned afterwards.
Pumpkin pie has no top crust, which makes most forms of decoration impossible; however, for a more aesthetically-pleasing pie, put dollops of real whipped cream on each slice, or add a decorative rim to the side crust with artfully layered dough cut-outs in the shape of fall leaves, squash, or pumpkins.
Use a smaller 'sugar pumpkin' instead of the big 'Jack O Lantern' pumpkin. Sugar pumpkins have a firm and smooth texture while the larger 'Jack O Lantern' pumpkin has a more stringy or fibrous texture and more watery flesh.
