Cooking the Pumpkin...

For this pie, you can use canned or pre-cooked. Here in the UK canned is not always readily available, so I usually cook all mine from scratch. It's fairly straightforward to do... 

Roasting: Pre-heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Chop in half and remove the seeds. Place cut side down on a baking tray and place in your oven for 30-40 minutes, or until soft. Let cool and scoop out the flesh.

Boil or steaming: Chop in half, remove the seeds and peel. Slice into 1 inch (3 cm) chunks and steam or boil for 7-10 minutes, or until soft.

How ever you cook it, it's a good idea to mash or give it a quick blend to get rid of lumps and you get a smooth consistency.
