<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAs soon as Christmas is over, pumpkin leaves my life until Autumn. On this first weekend of said season, you can bet I’ll be roasting a pumpkin or two. I LOVE baking with pumpkin, so I am way familiar with roasting my own to get that amazing puree. <\/p>\n
If you’ve never done it, you’re missing out! It’s so easy and so delicious. This is my method–<\/p>\n
1. Chop off the top, then cut pumpkin in half from top to bottom & scoop out innards (save the seeds!)
\n2. Put face down in a baking dish with a bit of water to steam up & place in 350F oven for 45 minutes to an hour OR until you can pierce the skin easily with a fork.
\n3. Let it cool a bit, then peel off the outside skin and place in food processor or blender to puree.
\n4. Place in a strainer lined with cheesecloth over a bowl. This dries it up a bit–it can be super watery!
\n5. Use immediately, or place in storage bags to put in your freezer for later use. I suggest storing in 1 cup increments, as that’s usually how much you need in recipes.<\/p>\n
Here are a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes and some that I plan on trying this Fall. <\/p>\n
