Pumpkin Puree




This is a simple recipe.  Very simple.  I promise you that your home will smell wonderful and you'll enjoy how fresh pumpkin tastes in your goodies!  Homemade pumpkin baby food was one of Miss Mia's first meals.  I intend the same for Miz Aise as well.

Ingredients:
Sugar Pumpkin(s)

1.  Wipe down pumpkins (just because they could be dirty from being in the field).
2.  Preheat oven to 325.
3.  Cut pumpkins in half.  Remove Stems.  Remove seeds and strings.  If making roasted pumpkin seeds, set aside. 
4.  Place halved pumpkins in roaster.
5.  Bake for 90 minutes.
6.  Remove from oven.  Pumpkin should easily pull off of skin using spoons.
7.  Place pumpkin in blender and puree. 
8.  Place pureed pumpkin in freezer, use in your favorite pumpkin recipe or package for future use as baby food.

~ If making the puree for baby food use, place the puree in ice cube trays.  After frozen, pumpkin cubes can be placed in Freezer Storage bags.
