Pumpkin puree is a key ingredient for fall favorites like pumpkin pie and pumpkin pancakes. We'll show you how to cut them, roast them, and process them, all in preparation for freezing the puree in freezer-safe containers.
Steps for Making Pumpkin Puree
1. Set your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and one piece of parchment paper.
2. Cut the top off the pumpkin. Turn it on its side, cut end down. Cut in half.
3. Scrape out the seeds. You do not need to remove all the stringy parts. Just the seeds.
4. Oil the pumpkin halves with oil or some kind of fat. Place the pumpkin halves, cut side down, on the parchment paper.
6. Roast the pumpkin halves in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1.5 hours.
7. Remove the pumpkin halves and cover with a piece of parchment paper. All the pumpkins to cool before you handle them.
8. Scrape the soft insides of the pumpkin into a food processor.
9. Blend the pumpkin until smooth.
10. Spoon the pumpkin into freezer-safe containers. Use within 12 months.
