Sooz, you must be in th UK. In the States you will be finding Pumpkin Pies everywhere this time of year and the canned pumpkin, which has a pie recipe printed on the label, is on display at every supermarket. I always bring some canned pumpkin when I go to Scotland so that I can make pumpkin pies for my friend and his neighbors - they love it. It's one of my favorites, too.

You can use fresh pumpkin. I have done both and couldn't tell the difference (that's why I just used the canned stuff - it's easier). I'll post a recipe during the course of the day.
