You don’t need to buy that canned stuff. Making your own pumpkin puree from scratch is super easy.
‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin! Pancakes, muffins and of course, pumpkin pie are mainstays of all the holidays from October through December. And instead of using canned pumpkin to make all your favorite autumn treats, try whipping up some homemade pumpkin puree. Going with the gourd is actually super easy and as always, it’s super green. Ingredients and Kitchen Tools
One pie pumpkin Knife Roasting pan Paper towel Strainer
Directions Your pumpkin puree is now ready to use in all your favorite pumpkin recipes!
A small pie pumpkin should yield more than a cup of pumpkin puree. I usually do 2-3 pie pumpkins at a time and freeze what I don’t use immediately. Are you more of a visual learner? (Me too!) If so, then you can check out my step-by-step video tute on how to make this puree. Added bonus: there’s a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds in there too. Now go get a pie pumpkin so you can make some pumpkin soup…or pumpkin ravioli…or pumpkin ANYTHING!
