Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Puree

Print Recipe

Pumpkin purée has been part of American cooking for centuries, traditionally made after the fall harvest. Early settlers and cooks used fresh pumpkin in breads, puddings, and savory dishes. The Pioneer Woman’s version stays true to this heritage, highlighting the simplicity of roasting and blending pumpkin into a smooth, naturally sweet purée.

Ingredients

Sugar pumpkin (also called pie pumpkin, 1 medium, about 3–4 lbs)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the pumpkin

Wash and dry the pumpkin. Cut it in half from top to bottom, scoop out seeds and stringy flesh. Save seeds if you want to roast them later.

Step 2: Roast the pumpkin

Place pumpkin halves cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast at 375°F (190°C) for 45–60 minutes, or until the flesh is fork-tender.

Step 3: Scoop out flesh

Let the pumpkin cool slightly. Scoop soft flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.

Step 4: Blend into a purée

Transfer flesh to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, scraping sides as needed. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water.

Step 5: Store

Use immediately or store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze in portions for up to 3 months.
