Ingredients
- 1 sugar pumpkin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. If desired, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut your sugar pumpkin in half. I like to start at the root end. When you get to the stem, you should be able to just pull the pumpkin apart.
- Scoop all of the seeds and strings out of the pumpkin. You’ll want to get as many out as possible.
- Place the two halves of the pumpkin cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake until the pumpkin is tender, 30-45 minutes. You should be able to pierce it easily with a knife.
- Remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Once cool, scoop all of the pumpkin flesh out, discarding the skin. Place the flesh in a food processor and pulse until it is smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed.
- Use right away, or you can refrigerate it for up to 1 week. The pumpkin puree can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Homemade pumpkin puree has a higher water content than canned puree. If you are using this for baked goods, I would suggest draining the puree over a piece of cheesecloth before measuring and using.
