It's easy to make homemade pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin - no need to be spooked! Choose small, sweet pumpkins rather than using a large watery jack-o'lantern. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm/8in pie dish. For the filling, lightly beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the pumpkin purée, sugar, cinnamon, orange zest and juice.
