The pumpkin pie recipe made Thanksgiving for my wife and I the years we spent living in New Zealand (and since). I grew up with canned pumpkin in pies like many americans. This canned filling does not exist in New Zealand, however raw pumpkin is sold in supermarkets and is a common vege in savory dishes. From our first time baking this pie recipe, all other pumpkin pie is dead to us. The pumpkin we bought in NZ turns out to be superior to sugar pumpkin or butternut squash. It is Japanese winter squash or kabocha. If using this recipe with kabocha, cut the sugar by 1/3 to 1/2. It doesn’t need much.
