Ingredients

  • 2 sugar pumpkins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the tops and bottoms off of the two pumpkins. Cut in half from top to bottom (stem to bottom). Scoop out the seeds and strings. Either save the seeds for roasting or just throw them away. Cut each piece of pumpkin in half again so that you end up with 8 quarters.
  • Place each piece flesh-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, checking to be sure the pumpkin is tender and easily-poked with a fork.
  • Let rest for about 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Scoop all flesh away from the peeling. Using the side of a spoon may help you with this process. Place all pumpkin meat in the Blendtec and blend on low speed until all pieces are pureed.
  • You now have about 2 cups of pumpkin puree with no added ingredients or chemicals.
