Homemade pumpkin purée
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F. Place the rack in the center of
the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a reusable baking
sheet).
Cut the pumpkin in 2. Using a spoon, scoop out the inside of
the pumpkin. Clean and save the seeds for cooking.
Place the pumpkin on the baking sheet, cut side down.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the size
of the pumpkin, until the tip of a knife fits easily into the flesh.
Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
Scrape the flesh with a spoon and place it in the container
of the food processor. Reduce to a smooth puree.
