Fresh Pumpkin Puree

I had a few weeks of pumpkin fun after harvesting our Jack-O-Lanterns -- muffins, breads, cookies, soup, scones... yay!


Ingredients/Supplies:
- Fresh Pumpkin- as many as will fit, I used two small ones! If you are reusing a jack-o-lantern, try to use it within 3 days of carving the pumpkin.
- Casserole or oven-safe container

Preparation:
-Preheat oven to 350 F.
-If you’re not harvesting a jack-o-lantern, cut top from pumpkin and scrape out stringy pulp and seeds (you can save the seeds for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds).
-Cut the pumpkin into large pieces and place in casserole dish with a little water
-Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pumpkin is mushy enough to scoop out with a spoon.
-Scoop pumpkin into a food processor or blender and blend until pureed.
-Keep in the fridge and use for delicious baked goods or soups!
