Servings: You can make about 2 cups of pumpkin pure from the pumpkin this size

All you will need for this recipe is pumpkin. For the purpose of this recipe I took 1, 50 oz. Ambercup Squash.

First cut the edges of the pumpkin and slice it in half – be careful not to cut your fingers as it can get QUITE tricky with this round pumpkin.

Then take a large spoon and remove the middle part so all the seeds are removed.

Slice the pumpkin into large pieces. Than take the baking dish, put on the parchment paper and arrange the pumpkin on the paper so it doesn't stick to the bottom

Heat the oven on 350F, put the pumpkin in and bake it for around 45 minutes.

When done, take it out and check with a fork if the pumpkin is fork tender.

Nov peel the skin of  with a knife or just with your hands, but I think it is easier with a sharp knife – as you can see this will get a bit messy.

Then put the pieces into a food processor and mix for a few seconds until you get a smooth puree.

And woooola, your pumpkin puree is ready.

As I mentioned, you can store this pure in the refrigerator or freezer it for later use.
