How much real pumpkin equals a small can of canned pumpkin?? ?

I have a pumpkin pie recipe I want to use, but it lists canned pumpkin. I would like to try to use real pumpkin-but how much do I use, and then how much sugar do I add?

1. 1/2 a cup of pumpkin in a can is in a small can. It contains an extra 4 grams of sugar. Hope it helps
2. I'm facing the same question. My recipe calls for a 15oz can of pumpkin. So I searched for somewhere online selling pumpkin that would contain serving/nutrition info. Apparently, a 15oz can of pumpkin makes 3.5 servings of 1/2 cup each - that translates to one and three quarters (1.75) cups of pumpkin. Off I go to start the crust now!
