Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Slice the pumpkin (or pumpkins) in half.  The stem can be tricky to cut through, so you might want to slice the top off the pumpkin so you don't have to bother with the stem.

Chef's Notes

You don’t want to wait until the pumpkin is completely cool to do this though, because it comes off much better while the pumpkin is still hot.

My pumpkin puree is real watery because food processor instructions say to add water before puree. What should I do? I thought about add a little canned pumpkin before making my pies.

Can you freez the purée

Dannii ★ 5.0/5

We do buy the cans occasionally, but it's so much cheaper to buy your own and pretty easy too.

Sara ★ 5.0/5

I have to admit, I always buy the canned stuff but clearly I'm missing out! And I'm also in the Bay Area ;)
