- *To puree avocado, use a sharp knife and cut into the avocado straight down and around the hard pit inside. Twist into two halves-one half will contain the pit. Carefully and quickly hit the pit with the knife then with a twisting motion, loosen the pit and pull it out. To remove the avocado from the skin, ease a spoon between the flesh and the skin and scoop it out. Then, puree the avocado in a food processor.
