Ingredients
- 3 ½ to 4 to 4 pound pie pumpkin
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Remove the stem from the pumpkin.
- Place the rack or a steamer basket in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water.
- Place the pumpkin on the rack/basket. Make sure the lid can close without touching the top of the pumpkin.
- Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 13 minutes.
- Let the pressure naturally release.
- Carefully lift the pumpkin out of the pressure cooker (use the handles of the rack) and place on a cutting board or plate. Let cool until it is easy to handle.
- Slice the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds and goop, and peel off the skin.
- Blend the soft pumpkin in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water, if needed to help it along (don't add too much water!).
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Pumpkin: if your pumpkin is too big to safely fit into the pressure cooker, remove the stem, cut it in half, and take out the seeds and goop. Chop into large pieces and place on the rack/basket (still add the 1 cup water). Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
