How to Puree a Pumpkin - thecrunchymoose.com

Quick and easy steps to puree a pumpkin! Your pumpkin pies, breads, and smoothies will be better than ever with a fresh, roasted, and pureed pumpkin! I got this pumpkin in my CSA share a couple weeks ago from the farm I volunteer at.

It is very easy to make homemade pumpkin puree. You can use it for pies, baby food, cheesecake, pasta,  drinks, breads, and on and on and on. Pumpkin puree freezes great.

Cut the stem off. Half the pumpkin. Remove all the pulp and seeds. Save the pulp & seeds if you want to toast your pumpkin seeds.

 

My 4 year old nephew spent the night last night. So he was my helper.

Rough chop the halves. Leave the skin on while it roasts. It is very easy to remove after it roasts. Put the pumpkin chunks on a cookie sheet (I lined mine with foil for easy clean up, not necessary). Roast at 375 for 45 – 90 minutes (depends on your pumpkin size). My pumpkin took about 70 minutes.

 
Checking on the pumpkins.
 

They are done when they are very fork tender.

 

Let cool. When they are cool enough to handle, remove the skins. They will come off easily.

Put the pumpkin in the food processor until smooth. That’s it!

Separate the seeds from the pulp. Do NOT wash them! You will wash away the flavor. Lay them out on a cookie sheet to dry overnight. Learn how to toast your pumpkin seeds here.

My son loves pumpkin puree.

    This looks like great stuff!! And so easy! I’m looking forward to trying it soon, but am just wondering if it matters the type of pumpkin?? I really have no idea about the different kinds, but the one I have seems like the one you used – the typical Halloween type.

    Smaller varieties are best. They are usually called sugar or pie pumpkins. Honestly, I’m not sure the exact variety my pumpkin is, I’ll have to ask my farmer (and I will because I’ve had several people ask). Larger pumpkins are stringier and have more water. But for most pie recipes, you are smothering it in cream, cream cheese, sugar, and butter, so it won’t matter too much! Ha! Let me know what kind you get and how it works for you.
