1.Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out the insides, getting the pumpkin as clean as possible. I use a tablespoon to scrape or try an ice cream scoop. Save the seeds to plant or to roast!
2.Put pumpkin halves cut side down in a baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour or until tender.
3.Scoop out pumpkin flesh (think giant avocado), let cool.
4.Puree using a food mill, food processor or handheld blender.
5.Pumpkin puree is now ready to use in your recipes or to freeze!
