Jars, my sister makes pumpkin pie out of fresh pumpkin. I'd bet a quick Google would come up with tips on how to make it really good. Sis works wacky hours or I would call and ask.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Pretty sure fresh pumpkin isn't exactly abundant near Jars either. Though maybe I'm just assuming things.
Is pumpkin butter just butter with pumpkin mushed in?
What they said. Though that doesn't sound half bad itself.

And come to think of it, an old college roommate grew up on her grandparents' farm, and she told me that they never bothered to label the canned/frozen pumpkin or the squash they put up from their garden. Even though there was a risk of eating pumpkin for a vegetable, and having a squash pie, she said it all came out as good.

No, I'm pretty sure I could make a decent pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin, and I probably will. I usually make Thai pumpkin soup or pumpkin curry, but I'll try a pie this year. I think Boy just really wants the kind he's used to having, which isn't going to happen. I'll just have to make the best approximation of pumkin puree I can muster. Recipes would be much appreciated.

My Aunt switched to fresh pumpkin for her pies. She insists its not that much work and they do taste sooooooooooo much better.

For all my non-cooking-ness, I have made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin and it was absolutely delish.
If I can do it...ANYONE can do it.

but he said that I really need tins of pumpkin puree to make it properly. Alas, such a thing does not exist over here.
when I lived in england, one of our friends' dads was coming to visit and we had him bring pumpkin in his luggage so that we could make pumpkin pie at thanksgiving.

I once brought a friend in Austria cream of mushroom soup so she could make her family tuna casserole like she'd had in America.

And DJ, I got the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue yesterday. They have an animatronic Elvis bust - sings, moves, etc.
An Elvis Costello bust? I've never seen such a thing!
ETA: Alas, it seems the bust is of the other Elvis.

Aw. I can get pumpkin, at least. I have two at home waiting for the chop.
