Pumpkin puree is super easy to make and tastes better than canned. Use it in all your fall baking recipes. You can even freeze it for later!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the pumpkin thoroughly. Cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stringy pulp using a spoon. You can save the seeds for roasting later or discard them.
- Place the pumpkin halves cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the flesh is fork-tender.
- Remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
- Once cooled, peel off the skin and transfer the pumpkin flesh to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher and mash by hand to your preferred consistency.
- Use the pumpkin puree immediately in your favorite recipes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Be sure to purchase a sugar pumpkin, not the kind used for carving Jack-o-lanterns.
- Sugar pumpkins generally yield 1 cup of puree per pound.
