Pumpkin puree from pumpkin in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We need a pumpkin. Choose the weight yourself, as well as the variety. It's better to take sweets. I have the “muscat” variety - it has very tasty, tender pulp. Turn on the oven to heat up to 200 degrees.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel and seed the pumpkin, cut into cubes, but don’t need to chop them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the pumpkin pieces in a baking dish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cover the pan thoroughly with foil, maybe in two layers. Place our pan in the oven and bake the pumpkin for about 1 hour.

5. STEP 5

   

   We check the readiness of the pumpkin like this - if it is very, very easy to pierce with a knife, the pumpkin is ready. Another point - if after an hour of cooking there is liquid in the pan, you need to very carefully drain it and put the pan back in the oven without foil for 10-15 minutes so that the pumpkin pieces dry.

6. STEP 6

   

   The finished pumpkin pieces should be transferred to a plate or bowl, where it will be convenient to grind everything with a blender.

7. STEP 7

   

   You can also use a meat grinder, but fibers may remain, so a blender is ideal. As a result, we get a very soft, velvety pumpkin puree. Without any additives or impurities!

8. STEP 8

   

   Transfer the finished pumpkin puree into sterilized jars and seal - this is if you plan on long-term storage. Or you can simply put it in glass jars and put it in the refrigerator - in this case, the puree can be stored for 2-3 days. Add it to baked goods, pancakes and pancakes - it’s very tasty!

and I just eat this same baked pumpkin without reaching the puree stage. Baked it, sprinkled it with sugar - and off you go, fork in hand.
