Let’s Eat! | Homemade Pumpkin Purée

October 6, 2014 by Margaret 15 Comments

PUMPKIN PUREE6

Homemade Pumpkin Puree
(Yields about 1-2 cups, depending on size)

Ingredients:
1 Sugar Pumpkin, small

PUMPKIN PUREE

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F
Start by removing the top stem of the pumpkin.
Slice it in half, vertically and remove the seeds/”guts”.

PUMPKIN PUREE2

Once it’s completely clean, slice each half again – so you have 4 quarter slices, all vertical.
Lay the slices onto a baking sheet, skin-side up (or down, doesn’t matter) and bake or 45 minutes or until tender.

PUMPKIN PUREE3

The skin should peel off with little effort, if it’s not budging then bake for 5-10 minutes longer.

PUMPKIN PUREE4

Once all the skin has been removed, place the pumpkin chunks into a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse till smooth.

PUMPKIN PUREE5

You can either store this for later use in freezer-safe bags or use it right away in a completely homemade treat!… like my pumpkin oat cookies 🙂
This will keep up to six months in a freezer, or about 1-2 weeks in the fridge.

You can find my video tutorial for this recipe here.

      Thank you so much love, as always – your love and support makes my day brighter <3

    Thank you! I would always rather use homemade instead of canned anytime. I was always leery about working with pumpkins until now. So thanks again, I’ll be trying it this weekend. 🙂

      Homemade is truly the way to go, if time isn’t a factor. I swear it tastes a million times better! So much love goes into my pumpkin recipes when using a homemade puree <3 I hope you have fun and let me know how it turns out!
