Ingredients

  • 1 cooked pumpkin pie or sugar pumpkin
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Peel the skin off the cooked pumpkin and remove the seeds and stringy fibers. Reserve seeds for later use and discard the pulp.
  • Cut the peeled pumpkin into pieces that are small enough to fit in your blender or food processor.
  • Put pumpkin pieces into the blender. Add ¼ cup of water and blend on high until the pumpkin is smooth. This will take anywhere from 1 minute to 3 minutes, depending on your appliance. Every so often, stop blending to push pumpkin off the sides and into the blade if needed.
  • Use in your favorite pumpkin-inspired recipes.

Notes

Store in the fridge for 1 week and in the freezer for 3 months. Keep in an airtight container or freezer safe bag.
