How to make Pumpkin Puree in the Instant Pot
Description
How to make Pumpkin Puree in the Instant Pot utilizes a whole small-medium pumpkin that is carefully prepared by removing the stem and inner seeds. The pumpkin is placed inside the Instant Pot with water and cooked under high pressure for 13 minutes. This method ensures the pumpkin flesh becomes tender and easily separable from the skin.
After cooking, the pumpkin is removed and blended until smooth using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. This yields a fresh pumpkin puree that can be used in baking, soups, sauces, or other recipes calling for pumpkin. The puree is simple, with no added sugar or spices, providing a neutral base.
Store the pumpkin puree in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze it for longer storage. The recipe notes the puree has minimal calories and provides fiber and protein naturally found in pumpkin. This method offers a straightforward way to make pumpkin puree without roasting or baking, leveraging the Instant Pot’s pressure cooking for convenience.
