Brown Butter Pumpkin Pie is the perfect recipe for those occasions when you want to make something traditional, like at Thanksgiving or Christmas, but you still want it to wow! This recipe can be made ahead of time and keeps it easy! It only takes one or two extra steps and the result is anything but ordinary–we would know because at Farmer’s Market, we’re the pumpkin experts. We’ve been growing pumpkins and refining our own organic variety since 1985, and it shows in the quality, taste, and texture of our pumpkin puree.
We’ve never let anything interfere with the quality of our product–that’s why we were the first brand to feature BPA-free can liners. We don’t add anything, ever, not even water, so you can be sure that you’re getting the purest product available. That’s what makes our organic pumpkin puree a favorite of Half Baked Harvest blogger Tieghan Gerard. She says it’s so good, that after making her own she decided she’s rather just use Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin Puree. One of the benefits of canned purees is that it’s consistent, unlike when you make your own. Water content of pumpkins can vary widely by growing region, variety, and the weather, but industrial purees account for that during production and test for quality so that you can be sure your baked goods turn out right every time.
