Well.. I think I failed at trying a new pumpkin pie recipe.

You see, I wanted to try a pumpkin pie recipe before Thanksgiving and this guy from my church gave me a bunch of cooking pumpkins-woo! The problem is that the recipe I tried called for canned pumpkin and homemade evaporated milk. I used “real” pumpkin and attempted to make homemade evaporated milk but kind of failed.

So it all started off well.Cute little cooking pumpkin. Cut openSeeds scooped outReady to microwave for 20 minutes

 Pie crust made

Then the pumpkin came out of the microwave and was stringy.

Then homemade evaporated milk just wasn’t working.

Then I think the recipe called for too much cinnamon because everything seemed so brown after I added it.

I decided to just bake the pie anyways. It was just a test.

Ready for this silliness/fail?!

 Yeah. I don’t know! It actually tasted pretty good, but it looks so WEIRD!

So yeah, that was my pumpkin pie fail. I was kind of sad because when I made this I didn’t have too much school work to do that day so I was all excited to have time to bake for once. I guess my skills were a bit rusty and I feel like it was a waste of time but at least I know not to make that recipe for Thanksgiving!

Have you ever had a baking/cooking FAIL?!
