I love pumpkin pie. I always buy pumpkins instead of canned pumpkin which looks like baby crap.

I cut the pumpkin into skinny wedges first.
Then cut around the insides to remove them rather than scraping.
Then I use a potato peeler to remove the skin.
Then I boil it like potatos.
Then I mash it with a potato masher.
I leave in some lumps cause I like the texture.
Then I hand it to my wife to add the other ingredients and finish making the pie.

It beats canned pumpkin by a mile.
