The slow cooker version also works well!

If the pumpkin will fit in your slow cooker, rinse it the put it in the cooker. Turn it on to low and leave it for about 4 hrs. You do not need to poke it with a knife or anything. Check after 4 hrs and if a knife will easily slide in, it’s done. Let it cool, cut in half, scoop out the seeds/stringy bit (note: Blue Jays – not the ball players but the birds! – love the parts that are scooped out!) then scrape out the cooked pulp. What I do is puree it in the food processor, let it drain through a sieve lined with a coffee filter then freeze it – or use it right away. Perfect and honestly, not a lot of effort. Delish.

There are multiple ways to remove excess water from pumpkin puree.

Line a china cap with damp cheesecloth put the pumpkin in with bowl under the china cap and let sit overnight. Two pumpkins ago I got 2 cups of liquid using this method.

Another method is to spread the puree in a 9 x13 pan and put it in a slow oven (180F – 200F) for 4 to 6 hours, stirring about once per hour.
To get the puree as smooth as the canned version, I use a stick blender.

We used/use cheese pumpkins (those ugly pale orange flattened ones) Wonderful texture, fragrant aroma, fabulous taste!!! Holds up to the added spices!!

I have been making puree out of large 'carver' pumpkins for years and years. When I bake them, I pour a bit of water into the baking pan. Once removed from the skin, I drain the unmashed flesh in a simple plastic sieve(to drain) and have never had a problem! While mashing with a potato masher, I add a bit of pumpkin pie seasoning. I freeze my mashed pumpkin in heavy duty freezer bags(have to go down to the US to get the good quality ones).
Thanks for all your great recipes!

I've been eager to try pumpkin recipes but not so keen on using storebought puree. Now I know I can easily make my own and I look forward to baking. Thanks Kevin!
