Homemade Pumpkin Puree in the Microwave Recipe

Ingredients

1 pie pumpkin

Fruits and Vegetables

Directions

Step 1

Cut stem off of pumpkin to create a hole using a good strong knife as cutting through a pumpkin can be tricky. Scoop and scrape pulp and seeds out of pumpkin saving seeds to roast later. Cut pumpkin in quarters. Cut quarters in 1/2 again.

Step 2

Place pumpkin pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap tight enough to not let any steam or moisture escape during cooking time.

Step 3

Microwave for 7 minutes checking seal of plastic wrap halfway through cooking time to ensure no moisture is not escaping. Continue cooking in the microwave for another 8 minutes. Remove plastic wrap by pulling wrap furthest from you back towards you allowing hot steam to escape away from you. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Peel skin from pumpkin using your fingers.

Step 5

Puree peeled pumpkin using a food processor hand masher or a potato ricer.
