Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small pumpkins
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut pumpkin in half. You may have to cut off the top first.
  • Scoop out all of the seeds and strings the best you can from the inside of the pumpkin. Once that's complete, cut each half, in half, to make four quarters.
  • Place pumpkin quarters face up on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. The skin should be firm and the flesh should be nice and soft.
  • Using a spoon, remove all of the inner pumpkin flesh from each quarter of the pumpkin. Put the pumpkin flesh and water into a blender, food processor, or other machine and puree until smooth.
