It’s me again. I am in the US, so I will look out for Smoked Paprika at any of our International shops or Whole foods. Thanks so much and keep those wonderful recipes coming! ag

Answers to your questions:
1). Smoked Paprika how is it different from regular paprika?
Smoked paprika is smokey and you can find it at Waitrose or Borough Market from Brindisa

2). Do these pies freeze well?
Yes you can freeze the cooked pies for up to two months. Please defrost fully before reheating the pies.
3). Dare I ask this? Can I use canned organic pumpkin?
Yes I will let you off, I have no problem with you using canned pumpkin, please season it well.

Madalene, Wow this looks absolutely wonderful! I have a few questions: 1). Smoked Paprika how is it different from regular paprika? I have a hard time finding the former so, can I substitute the later with compromising the taste? 2). Do these pies freeze well? Lastly, 3). Dare I ask this? Can I use canned organic pumpkin? I know, I know – not the same as fresh, but…thanks so much! Keep the food coming!

I adore pulled pork – and pies! What a dreamy combo…
And yes, your lunch box is way cool. Where did you get it?

curiously enough, i braised pork loin last night, kept
adding just enough fresh apple cider to keep it from
sticking….now i can make something interesting with
the leftover pulled meat!
i have left pumpkin behind for pies…i use a
butternut squash instead for all pumpkin dishes.
it is a bit sweeter, and the flesh is never stringy,
i roast it same way, and flesh purees beautifully.
my family and friends always request my
“pumpkin pies” over the holidays.
it is a small secret.

vty, johanna
