I agree with you, Dave. I made it from scratch twice. Once from cutting
and boiling the fresh pumpkin, then once from baking and cutting. It was a
lot of work and the canned plain pumpkin tastes just as good without all the
extra work.

For the past several years, I've skipped pumpkin pies and have made sweet
potato pies. I can use fresh produce and the final pie tastes just as good
(and about the same) as a pumpkin pie.
