homemade pumpkin pie?

I have 3 pumpkins. 2 that I grew in my garden and one that my son got from a farm on a school field trip. Not sure what kind of pumpkins they are but I was wondering if I can make a pie out of the 3 that I have. The ones that I grew are called Jack O’ Lantern pumpkin seeds that I got from walmart. Does anyone have a idea if I can make a pie or not? If so please let me know cause I want to make a homemade one…Thanks

Fresh Pumpkin Pie

“Pumpkin Pie using fresh garden pumpkins. Best served barely warm, with freshly whipped cream on top of each serving. Use the remaining pumpkin puree in any recipe that calls for canned pumpkin.”
Original recipe yield: 1 – 9 inch pie

INGREDIENTS
1 medium sugar pumpkin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup honey, warmed slightly
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS
Cut pumpkin in half, and remove seeds. Lightly oil the cut surface. Place cut side down on a jelly roll pan lined with foil and lightly oiled. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Either mash, or puree in small batches in a blender.
In large bowl, blend together 2 cups pumpkin puree, spices, and salt. Beat in eggs, honey, milk, and cream. Pour filling into pie shell.
Bake at 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge of pie comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
