Use small to medium size pumpkins. Clean and slice meat from the rind. Cut pumpkin into squares and bake in a covered 4.5 liter (or larger) dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until pumpkin is very tender. Remove and put immediately into a blender and make puree.
For Pie: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix well 2 cups fresh pumpkin with remaining ingredients. Pour into pie shell. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake another 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
