Pumpkin Purée

Ingredients

  • 1-2 Small pumpkins (about 8 pounds each)

  • water (as needed)

This easy replacement for canned pumpkin can be frozen in small batches so you always have it on hand.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Slice the top of the pumpkin off with the stem. Cut the pumpkin into quarters. Scoop out the inside and discard. (Save seeds if you wish to make toasted pumpkin seeds.)
  • Place the pumpkin quarters onto the cookie sheet and bake for 45 – 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • When the pumpkin has cooled to room temperature, peel off the skin. This should be fairly easy to do by hand. Discard the skin.
  • Place the roasted pumpkin in a food processor and pulse until smooth. You may need to add some water. I used about ¼ cup.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze for future use.
