Culinary Taste Tip:
Toasting pecans elevates their wonderful flavor. Just use a little cooking spray on a cookie sheet and place in 350-degree oven for 10 - 15 minutes. You'll notice a wonderful difference in flavor.

Culinary Technique Tip:
If you want to use fresh pie pumpkin, here's how to prepare it: Cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Place cut side down on shallow pan and bake at 325 degrees until tender, 1 to 3 hours. Scrape out the flesh and put it through a blender until smooth and creamy.
