FAQ:
Is pumpkin pie mix the same as a pumpkin pie filling?
It’s not the same thing. Pumpkin pie mix is traditionally a mixture of squash and sometimes, not even real pumpkin. The same goes for pumpkin pie filling as well. If you’re wanting true pumpkin, you need to use real pumpkin puree.
Is pumpkin in a can really pumpkin?
It’s not! Isn’t that shocking! What you’ll typically find in a can is actually a squash, even though it’s labeled as a pumpkin. Totally confusing, right? Make certain to read the ingredients before you purchase it!
Can I substitute pumpkin for sweet potatoes?
You bet! If you can’t find the pumpkin that you’re needing in a can, just pivot and used canned sweet potato instead. There’s a good chance that nobody will ever know the difference and if they do, just call it sweet potato pie.
