When life hands you pumpkin, make puree!

If you carved a pumpkin this year then half the work is already done for you!!

Cut the Jack-o-lantern up into pieces and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350c for about 90 min.

Scoop the  pumpkin out of the baked pieces.  It should be soft and easy to scoop.

Put the scoops of pumpkin in a food processor and puree it.  Look how soft and colorful this is.  A baby’s dream.

Now that you have pumpkin puree, you have a great base for soup, muffins, scones, pie, gnocchi, ravioli….you name it, I am sure it can be done.  I will be posting a couple recipes later on in the day after I have tried some new ones.  I will also post my pumpkin soup recipe very soon.

For a complete recipe to make pumpkin puree, go to the vegetable section in ‘Recipes’.  It is under, ‘Easy Steps to Pumpkin Puree’.
