Ingredients
- Fresh Pumpkin
Directions
Break off the pumpkin stem, cut the pumpkin in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds and stringy material. Save the seeds for the recipe I posted the other day.
Place the halves, cut sides up, on a foil lined baking sheet. Cover and seal each half with foil.
Bake in a preheated 350 Degree F. oven until the flesh is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool until able to handle.
Scoop out the flesh and mash with a potato masher, puree in a blender or processor, or push through a fine sieve. If the puree is too watery, drain in a colander lined with cheesecloth, folding the cheesecloth over the puree and weighing down with a plate. Puree will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.
