Easy recipe to make pumpkin puree from scratch

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Pumpkin Small-medium sized, about 25 lbs

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325°F
  2. Obtain a small-medium sized pumpkin, about 2-5 lbs.
  3. Wash the outside and cut pumpkin in half from top to bottom. Do not cut through stem.
  4. Once pumpkin has been cut in half cut the stem off from the base.
  5. Scoop out all of the pulp and seeds (save if you want to roast the pumpkin seeds later!).
  6. Once seeds and pulp have been scooped out, place pumpkin on a baking sheet (either face up or down, it doesn’t matter) and bake for 20-25 minutes until the skin is easily pulled away from the flesh with a knife or fork.
  7. When pumpkin has cooked enough, let cool then peel skin away and discard.
  8. Cut the pumpkin into cubes and place in a food processor.
  9. Process until pumpkin is completely smooth, about 3-5 minutes. 
  10. And there you have it! Your very own, freshly made pumpkin puree!
  11. This can last in the refrigerator for about 1.5 weeks or in the freezer for a few months.
