Ingredients

  • 3 pumpkin pie pumpkins
  • water as needed for baking and processing

Instructions

  • Cut the tops off your pumpkins.
  • Cut the pumpkins in half, from top to bottom.
  • Scoop out the insides of the pumpkins.
  • Place the pumpkins face down on a baking sheet. Add about 1/4 inch of water around them.
  • Bake at 350 for 60-90 minutes, checking periodically after 60 minutes. They are finished when a fork slides in easily.
  • Let the pumpkin cool and then scoop the meat out into a blender. Puree until desired consistency. If your pumpkin puree is too watery, place a colander over a mixing bowl and then add the puree to the colander. Excess water will drain from the puree.
