Pumpkin, canned or fresh?
I've had a google and it looks like canned is denser but to me using canned just seems lazy.
It sounds crazy to me to use canned over fresh, though it isn't something i have any experience of and I am only wildly guessing but if the issue is that 'canned is denser' then maybe letting it dry out a bit before using it would be comparable?
Surely water content can be the only factor in its density?
So maybe scoop all the flesh out and put it through a food processor then cook it off a bit or just leave it to dry out a little?
Not really sure.
That's what I usually do
I used canned pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk and two eggs to make my Thanksgiving pumpkin pies 👍🙂

Does not matter. Because pumpkin pie is pretty much the best vehicle for a shit load of whipped cream. So the pumpkin is pie itself is only there to add some flavor to the whipped cream.
I use fresh pumpkins because it's fun making them soft and squishy on the inside before you cut them open.
I really prefer canned. A lot of it is ease of use but a lot of it is also that's what my great grandmother, grandmother, and my mother used.
Whichever tastes better. And I've had neither one to judge.
Just get yourself fresh pumpkin. It will do the same job.
Fresh is better always. As long as you have the right ingredients to make it.
Fresh. Raw live fruits are the healthiest food on Earth.
I would definitely recommend the fresh pumpkin. if there are you should use them
I'm lazy and canned pumpkin puree is inexpensive here, so when I made pumpkin lasagna for the vegetarians who came to my Thanksgiving I used that.
My wife always used can pumpkin mix. My mom also used can
Fresh will always taste better.
I have always used canned pumpkin.
Fresh is always best.
