I haven't seen canned pumpkin here in Ireland, but I have managed to get a real one. Can anyone tell me if the stuff in a can is cooked or if all I have to do is measure out half a cup of the raw flesh for this delicious recipe?
Thanks,
Babs

Babs, there are actually two kinds of canned pumpkin sold here in the US. One is just pureed pumpkin and the other is pie filling. They both are cooked I believe. I would do a search on google or a site like allrecipes.com on preparing pumpkin. I don't believe it is huge project to make it, but there is little difference in homemade pumpkin and the canned version.
I just saw a program here recently that said our (American) tradition of carving jack-o-lanterns into pumpkins came from Irish immigrants that carved faces into turnips and rutabegas for the holiday Samhain?

Thanks Ed - yes, Samhain (pronounced sow [rhymes with how]-in) is Halloween here, but I've never made anything out of/with turnips, apart from mash to serve with spuds ... and I still miss those
We have only begun to see real pumpkins here in the last few years and I've never cooked with them, so this will be a first.
