This recipe is taken from a couple of online recipes. I definitely think that baking pumpkin in the oven is much easier than scooping it out fresh, but if you scoop the flesh during pumpkin carving, then you can boil the pumpkin for 15 min on the hob with water - then drain. You can also cook it with fresh pumpkin, but you have to mash it into a puree. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwik8LPklOf6AhUfgP0HHajlCOYQFnoECB8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.simplyrecipes.com%2Frecipes%2Fsuzannes_old_fashioned_pumpkin_pie%2F&usg=AOvVaw1l5YlHp8M45hby48kI2QIP https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/the-great-pumpkin-pie-recipe/

Baking

Step 5

Roll out dough and place on baking dish. Roll on top of the dish to get rid of the hanging bits. You can make little decorations out of scraps.

Step 6

Place baking paper on top (you can use the same paper the dough comes in), fill it with uncooked rice or dry beans or baking beans (special balls made for weighing down the dough). If you don’t pre-bake the dough, it will be soggy; if you don’t weigh it down, it will puff up and won’t be flat. You can reuse the same rice for a later pie, not sure if it would still cook - haven’t tried.
