HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PUREE: Easy Pumpkin Purée from Scratch/Sugar Pie & Carving Variety

[@LaurenShaw-it5sh]

DO NOT THROW AWAY THE LIQUID!!! I used this method to make pumpkin purée from regular pumpkins that I grew in my garden last year. But instead of throwing the pumpkin juice down the drain, I saved it and made a pumpkin syrup out of it. It’s super simple and oh so tasty.

[@kathrynletchford5114]

Cool. That is very interesting. Thank you..

[@misss498]

Thank u😊

[@maribel3024]

Ooo that’s neat! Do you happen to have the recipe or a video of how to make it into a syrup?

[@lilianamuniz-dearcos5042]

what’s your recipe? I made the puree and have a jar of the juice sitting to be used

[@LaurenShaw-it5sh]

Add equal amounts of brown sugar to your juice and some pumpkin pie spice to taste. Add a teaspoon at first. Reduce it on medium heat for 40 minutes or so (give or take five minutes) until it’s thickened. Add more spice if you think it needs it. Goes great on pancakes and waffles. My boyfriend puts it in his coffee. Use a very large pot. This bubbles a lot as it cooks.

My preferred pumpkin for both decoration and eating is a fairytale hands down the perfect pumpkin to me.

[@marcyinspired1442]

That's good to know. Fairytale pumpkins are so beautiful, too.

[@TheXimena711]

Thank you! A pumpkin I got from the pumpkin patch got pierced on the drive home. The entire internet was saying dont use it for baking and were not giving instructions on how to make puree with it 🙃. This video helped me to not just throw it away and waste my money

[@amandalangley8511]

A favorite pumpkin recipe in my house is pumpkin roll. It’s a recipe I got from my grandma and I make at least 15 a year (mostly between thanksgiving and Christmas).

We grew pumpkins this year, and are going to cook them in our wood burner to make a puree for something in our Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for your lovely video!

[@kathleenstoin671]

I roast my pumpkins whole, after cutting off the top, or sometimes I just pierce it in several places, then put on a baking sheet to roast. If the pumpkin is large, you can remove an oven rack. It cooks in about the same time as the cut pumpkins, depending on the thickness of the flesh. It's so much easier to cut it and remove the stringy bits and seeds when it's cooked.

Never had a pumpkin before, but I got a recipe for dog biscuits to treat my dog. You never know If I try it, I might like it

[@marcyinspired1442]

Haha! I have a friend who accidentally ate a dog biscuit and loved it. She had gone into a cute boutique and wasn't wearing her glasses. Be she was able to make out a little sign in front of the treats that said "Take One," so she did. She enjoyed it so much, she asked the person behind the counter if she could have a second one, and that's when they told her the treats were for people who came in with their dogs! She was so embarrassed. Who knows? They probably had pumpkin in them!

[@lauratroxel24]

We keep pumpkin on hand for our dog, who has a very sensitive stomach. It always makes her feel better!

[@susannahv7219]

​@lauratroxel24 Pure pumpkin is great for either doggy diarrhea or constipation, oddly enough. We also give it to our sensitive pup.

Okay now this is weird, on the way home night before last I passed by a house that had about 30 pumpkins on the front porch still and I saw a bunch of those sugar pumpkins and I thought to myself I ought to message Marcy and tell her to make pumpkin puree or a pumpkin pie from pumpkin and I turned on the TV this morning and "Shazam!" Great minds think alike, que no? Great job and I loved your canning jars with the flowers!

[@marcyinspired1442]

You should ask them to give you a couple. What do you bet, they end up tossing them!? That really is a pet peeve of mine. Lol Since shooting this video, I made a pumpkin roll, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin soup. And I still have about 2 cups of purée left, which is enough for one more pie! Thanks for the feedback.

[@michellesirois6954]

Hi Marcie....just a tip to make it easier for you...dont bother cutting the top off,just cut the whole thing in half.Its easier to get to the guts and once its cleaned its ready to put in your baking pan.

[@mikeypatterson7966]

Thank you thank you! I just have myself to feed this Thanksgiving, so I just need to puree one small pumpkin to add to the can pumpkin I have handy. I have to do keto, erythritol for sugars. I am doing a homemade pie crust with almond flour extra blanched with xanthan gum, egg and cubed butter. I have some sugar free vanilla pudding to mix with the pumpkin when it comes time to mix the pumpkin with all the goodies and spice. I got the recipe off of youtube, hopefully it works out. :)

[@annabelles1622]

Well hello there! how was your 🎃pie? 😃hope it turned out ok? I bought a half of a 🎃 pie at grocery store since I spent Thanksgiving alone. It was just ok.

[@mikeypatterson7966]

@@annabelles1622 Happy holidays Annabelle. My pie was not the greatest, the filling was fine, but the crust got over done, unfortunately. Keto is different, you have to get the skills down just right for the texturing. My oven is small and I think that is why the pie got overdone. I roasted my turkey in an Oster Turkey Roaster, came out delicious. You see, I have diabetes and sometimes the stores have sugar free pies and sometimes not. My yams I bake in foil, like a baked potato and just eat it that way, easy peasy and no added sugar. Please say hi anytime. I prefer fresh foods for the holidays, how about you?

I heard that you can leave the water in if you’re going to make soup so I’ll probably leave some water in for the soup ones and the rest of it I will drain I bought the strainer cloth so that I can get the water out and then I will probably freeze some of the pumpkin so I can have it puréed and ready to go.

[@carolynnmathisen8754]

I use the regular pumpkin in my muffins and bread. Once puréed can be frozen for +/- a year so I can have pumpkin purée all year

Quick question, i put a small tea light candle into my pumpkin (it’s in a metal container) can I still use my pumpkin to bake after 2 days of having it out? Also I know you said that the jack o lantern pumpkin may not be good for baking but can i instead just add some extra sugar for baking or something like that?

[@lfzf_9275]

Hi! How long can you actually store it in the fridge?

[@marcyinspired1442]

I usually try to use it within a couple of weeks. Because there are no preservatives, on about the third week, you'll start seeing mold form. So, if you don't think you'll be using it by then, it's a good idea to freeze it.

[@susansanford9846]

How long does the puree store for? I can't smell so if it starts to go bad before any mold grows i may not be able to tell 😳

I was told two weeks…

[@marcyinspired1442]

That is too funny, and yet not funny at the same time! I often have to have my husband smell things because my sense of smell is not the best either. I was going to say 2-3 weeks for the pumpkin purée, but I see that someone else answered with two weeks. That's definitely a safer bet.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thanks so much for responding. 2 weeks sounds right.

[@gammaof3]

You can freeze or can it, and it lasts for a year. I read that in my canning book 😊

[@bondjane007]

I didn’t hear the temperature that you were going to cook the pumpkin out I’m guessing 350 so I’m gonna do 350 for like how long it takes for the pumpkin to get soft I’ve never seen anyone put aluminum foil on top of it. Most people don’t do that but maybe that helps I don’t know I did see some that were kind of burnt on the top but it didn’t seem to affect the pumpkin at all the meat of it. I don’t have any foil so I’ll probably have to do it without foil but I think I have parchment paper so hopefully I can do it at 350 and it’s an electric stove. I’ll keep my eye on it and I guess I will freeze some of it so I can have I don’t have a big processor I just have a little blender and a little processor so I have to use them to make the purée and I guess I’ll drain out the water.

[@nancybrooks-hartz8807]

FYI you can just take the pumpkin and snap off the top stem on a piece of wood or a ledge ….snaps right off !!

Are you serious? I'm trying to picture that in my mind, but will definitely have to try that.

[@jeremytokich1253]

Can you use the pumpkin water?

[@marcyinspired1442]

If you mean keeping the pumpkin water in the purée, it makes it way too runny and difficult to work with in any recipe. I've tried that before and made a mess. Now, I run it through cheese cloth every single time. If you mean using the pumpkin water for something else, I'm not sure. I've never given it any thought and have always just poured it down the sink. Perhaps, someone else can weigh in on this conversation. I'd be curious to know.
