Recipe recipe pleeeease!

I'm already on track to make soup but ds prefers sweet things. Pumkin pie might hit the spot. I'd be ever so grateful! (creeping emoticon)

I've never understood if pumpkin pie is sweet or savory.

Irene - I don't know if you're about, but a quick question re the pie.

Must the mashed/shredded pumpkin be cooked at all before it's combined with the other things?

Thanks
