How to make pumpkin puree?
You’ll need one medium-sized sugar or pie pumpkin. Now follow this simple instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse the pumpkin clean and pat it dry. Slice off the stem of the pumpkin, then cut the pumpkin in half from top to bottom. Use a large metal spoon or an ice cream scoop to remove the seeds and fibrous strings.
- Place the pumpkin halves, cut-side down, onto the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin and flesh.
- Allow the pumpkin to cool enough to handle, then scoop out the flesh using a spoon and discard the skin.
- Transfer the pumpkin flesh to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. If the puree seems too thick, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
- You can use the pumpkin puree immediately in recipes, or store it in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it in zip-top bags or airtight containers for longer storage.
