1 sugar pumpkin (about 2.5 pounds)

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cut off the top of the pumpkin and then slice the pumpkin in half lengthwise.
Scoop out all the seeds and any of the stringy pumpkin membranes (be sure to save those seeds!) and then lay pumpkin skin side UP on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Roast for 35-40 minutes or until fork tender.
Once the pumpkin has cooled a bit, peel off the skin and pop the pumpkin into a food processor. Blend until you have nice creamy delicious, pumpkin puree.

[@musicismylife9781]

You could always boil the pumpkin, and proceed with the same steps. However, by roasting it, a lot of the natural sugars will come out and ultimately result in a sweeter taste. Also, it releases the stored nutrients in the pumpkin, making it a ton more healthier! The same goes for yams, sweet potatoes, etc.

[@gigiii5335]

How u boil it?u cut it then boil or without cutting?

[@onyxsafira2813]

@@gigiii5335 I did everything hixzie did but I did not cut the skin off prior to boiling the pmpkin pulp because its too hard to cut w/a reglular knife...busts my hands to cut open the pmpkin in half or even to make a lid and cut that out. Aftr boiling drain and I mashed it by hand and added spices and egg and evaporated milk and baked it. I didnt have time to put it in a blender. Then I made coconut nondairy topping. Took hours because I roasted ppkn seeds also. Next time I'll try roasting instead of boiling it if I have time.

[@jackphillips939]

No one cares mate

[@theguynamedgio]

You also concentrate the flavor more by roasting. If you boil it you end up actually taking some flavor out of your pumpkin and into the water.

[@verawallace9055]

Boiling pumpkins were my first options just started baking it a couple years ago

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Glad to know! And am happy to hear the videos are helpful for you. I go back and watch them myself sometimes when I forget how to do something... LOL!

[@habs4life41]

I disagree. I just made 5 pumpkin pies out of a regular pumpkin, and it tastes just fine! Only downside is I have like 2 more containers in the freezer of pumpkin pure because there's so much of it ! Haha so anyone wondering you CAN use a regular pumpkin.

[@khricket]

It's hit or miss around here. Sometimes the puree turns out watery and stringy with the large jack-o-lantern pumpkins.

[@price-singspuccini6124]

Habs4life. Dunno..I used the bigger ones to make purée and it was just as she described. It was tasteless and the texture was like applesauce. Can’t see using what I have left in the freezer!

[@JudithLewis828]

Thank You

[@anobody4606]

You can definitely use Halloween pumpkins. I like to use sugar pumpkins because I can definitely differentiate it from the normal variants. If sweetness is ever an issue though one could easily adjust the recipe.

[@catherinewesley8603]

I also make pumpkin dog biscuits with my big pumpkins. The dogs love them and I add tons of herbs that are very beneficial for them to be healthy.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

You're very welcome! I'm happy your Halloween pumpkin worked out great ;)

[@cynthiaruffner4158]

We have always used regular old big Halloween pumpkins for our puree and our whole family says we make the best pumpkin pies. The notion that it is "tasteless" is a little ridiculous. You might think that because larger pumpkins do have more water content, but it just needs to be drained off. Then, the puree is just as thick and creamy as yours is. We don't roast it. We cut it up into small chunks and boil it like you would potatoes for mashed potatoes, until it's fork tender. Then, we drain it and mash with a potato masher, and then drain off the liquid some more. We cut up one pumpkin today and got enough puree to make 8 or 10 pies, I think, and we still have another pumpkin to go.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

I didnt find any "sugar pumpkin" around here so i bought a small orange one with a green stem (not greyish white like in your video) and it was called a "halloween pumpkin". But it worked really well! when i put it in the oven it started to smell a bit like sweet potatoes when you roast them and i think it also caramelized a bit :) It pureed it and didnt season it at all! But it has such a nice, sugary taste on its own, its soooo good :) Thanks for the great recipe!

You can also steam the pumpkin in a rice cookerr. It retains more nutrients compared to boiling. I'm in a part of Asia where most people don't have ovens, but the rice cooker works great!

I LOVE your videos however basic they might be to some people. When I bought my first sweet potato (I live in Europe and we've only been seeing them in shops here recently) you were the one who showed me how to make baked sweet potato fries! Some things might seem simple to some people, but where I am from - I have never even known anybody who tried sweet potato! And besides - the videos are so aesthetically pleasing and tidy that I watch all of them, regardless of the topic!

[@emjordan1989]

I love the sugar pie pumpkins for baked goods too. However, I always purchase a large (carving) pumpkin each year, except I don't carve it. I put it out w/my scarecrow for the Autumn months of harvest season. Then, like today, I will bake it to make pumpkin puree for thickening my winter SOUPS and STEWS! Yes! Pumpkins are rich in vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene-also an anti-oxidant which helps you to maintain healthy skin, teeth, and vision. Pumpkin is also an excellent source of vitamin C and potassium. Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin E, riboflavin, copper, and manganese. And you'll benefit from smaller amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and folate. The carving pumpkin doesn't necessarily have a strong taste so it's barely noticeable in soups or stew. Enjoy!

[@mrgruffy4499]

Thanks. I grew some kind of pumpkin from seeds left over from last year. Some of these were round like the Sugar Pumpkin shown. But the pumpkins I used were long, but about 6 inches thick. (I never saw a long pumpkin before) I made two attempts at pumpkin pie. The first puree was quite stringy. Either they weren't quite ripe enough, or I didn't bake the raw pumpkins enough. The 2nd attempt was better. I baked the pumpkins long enough. After scraping out the meat, ( instead of peeling off the skin), I beat it with my mixer on high speed. This pie was better as it wasn't as stringy. I don't mind as I'm not a cook, and I'm the only one who suffers from my cooking. I have on old large spoon that has a broken plastic handle that I used to scrape out the pumpkin. I used this spoon for many purposes over the years. This was hard the first time. I imagine that there is some kind of kitchen tool for this. Anyway, I took my spoon to a bench grinder to sharpen the point and one edge of the spoon. This made cleaning out the seeds and the stringy stuff a snap. I have 3 more pumpkins. So far, they haven't dried out. More pies, and more roasted pumpkin seeds. I never thought about smoothies or mixed "wiff" oatmeal or pancakes. How about freezing the puree?

In my country we peel/clean/dice the pumpkin...sauté onions, garlic, pimientos...add pumpkin, then whilst it’s cooking down, we add salt to taste & some roasted geera. When it cooks down, it’s mashed with a potato masher & we eat that with something called Roti.

[@takoyucky]

I had no idea, and I didn't know the difference between pumpkins. I found this video very informative! :)

[@chrisspringer614]

I cut it the same way you did and remove the seeds. But I cook it in a basket in the Instant pot with one cup of water added to the pot for 4-minutes. When it is done, the peel comes right off, and I compost the peel. Then I mix the pulp in either the Vitamin blender or the food processor. I find that the pulp is a little watery. So then I use a fine mesh strainer to get some of the juice out of the mix. I use the juice in a smoothie and the pulp is thick and usable in any pumpkin recipe. I usually add it to oatmeal, smoothies with a banana, or pumpkin pie.

I used to cook it in the oven but I learned that you can also do it in the microwave. Just put it in a covered casserole bowl and microwave for about 20 minutes.

I have always used regular pumpkins. To eliminate the "stringy" property like you've mentioned is simple...just process it a little longer. Remember, its going to get cooked again, and since it is squash, it will cook down. Thus I get a lot more puree (large Ball jars of it) at a much lower over all cost. Great for breads, pies, soups...you name it.

Even though it is a lot of work, over the past years I have used regular pumpkin to make my puree. My Grandkids bring me their pumpkins from halloween. For the most part, these have never seen a real candle because they light them with a few tealites. This is real handy because the pumpkins are pre-cleaned. I cut the pumpkins in sections along the natural ridges, then peel them. I then cut them into smapp pieces and into the steamer they go. When done to fork tenderness they are mashed with a potato masher into a pulp. Into a wire mesh strainer they go to drain for about an hour. Discard the drained liquid, then using the back of a large metal spoon, forcrvthe pulp through the mesh. This will fine puree the pumpkin and leave the stringy fibers behind. I then drain the puree a second time for about an hour and then bag into a freezer bag and label it including the date prepared. I have not found any fibers in the puree thus far, but if you are skeptical, run it through the wire seive again...its much easier this time. I use this in all of my pumpkin recipes including pumpkin pie.
