Sugar-Pumpkin Puree

Use this as a base for pumpkin recipes such as pies, tarts, or gratins.

Ingredients

Makes 3 1/2 cups

  • 1 sugar pumpkin (about 4 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch chunks

Directions

  1. Set a steamer basket in a saucepan filled with 1 inch water. Cover; bring to a boil. Add pumpkin. Cover; cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Puree in a food processor until smooth.
From Everyday Food, October 2008

Helpful Hint

Unlike deeply ridged, hard squash such as acorn, smooth sugar pumpkins are easy to prep. Cut off the top and bottom ends, then use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. For tougher skin, make a few more passes with a vegetable peeler.
