Hi, Bill, Unfortunately, the ready made pumpkin pie filling is not interchangeable with plain canned pumpkin puree. The pie filling has other ingredients mixed with the pumpkin, namely, sugar, spices and milk. To make one pie, all you add are eggs. If you choose to use the canned pie filling to make a pie, I would doctor it with more spices, because I like a spicy pie.
To make a pumpkin cake or bread, you need plain pumpkin puree. If you are getting assistance with grocery shopping, explain to the person who is helping you that you want pumpkin puree, not pie filling. The puree comes in either a fifteen ounce can or a 29 ounce can; I would recommend the smaller size can. Hope this helps. Blessings, Alice _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
