Healthy Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is very popular in the United States, Canada and England. Pumpkin season begins around mid-September and lasts throughout October and November. Take advantage of the great fall weather and head over to your local farmer's market or find a place to pick your own. There are as many pie versions as pumpkin varieties. When it comes to taste and appeal, my favorites are the red curry and honey nut squashes.
