pumPkin puree
Preheat oven to 375.
Cut pumpkin in half through its pole and remove seeds and pulp from both halves.
Place pumpkin halves, cut side down, on parchment lined baking sheet. Roast until tender - flesh should be easy to poke with a skewer. Turn halves over and roast another 30 minutes - this helps extract water from pumpkin making it more dense and flavorful.
Scoop flesh from skins into food processor and puree until smooth. Place puree in fine mesh strainer and allow to drain for an hour or more to further thicken.
Use in place of canned pumpkin in any recipe calling for pumpkin puree.
