When doing the measurements for your ingredients - Just remember Pi are round cornbread are squared.
What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?
Pumpkin pi
i can make your pie the first dish of the day so it has time to cool. will you be coming using a car or public transport?

Sat in the corner, in dv8's house
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumbkin,
And pulled out a pumpkin,
And said, "What a good boy am I!"

Yeah WW, take it easy with that holiday rum............ go fire up the grill and chill
The effect that I am going for is that homemade flare and texture with that little bit of "Mom" that commercial bakeries can't quite duplicate. I'm not suggesting the baker must be female, only that stuff mixed with a wooden spoon at home with a bit of individuality produces a finished product that is subtly different each time but is always recognizable.
I figured if I am going to shell out $30 CDN for a pie, I should dream big. I don't expect a successful quest but if you don't ask. I will fall back to the original plan if need be.
Now commercial Christmas fruit cake in two pound blocks full of colourful bits of questionable fruit and the density of a brick, that I can get behind in a big way. Thought about ordering some from Amazon this year but I was already over my shipping bidget.
If you want the recipe for a Rum Cake pm me. All you need is a bundt pan. The consistency is that of a heavier sponge cake, with rum and nuts, add a little whip cream and it is wonderful. Rum cake gets better as it ages over a couple of days.
thanks for the tip. i will try it with some of my tarts. but for pumpkin pie i will go with a traditional recipe. i don't know if i can get the crust OP longs for but i will put my heart into it
I'll bring some extra pumpkin and a bag of flour. I'm staying until you get it right. Should I bring my own Christmas presents or do you have extras?
you mean you aren't?
and here i was, thinking you were a well adjusted capitalist..
