Time 5h

Yield Yields about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 sugar pumpkin (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Snap off the pumpkin's stem and halve the gourd lengthwise. With a spoon or melon baller, remove seeds and rinse for roasting or discard.
  • Place pumpkin halves cut-side down on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 1 hour.
  • When cool enough to handle, scoop out cooked pumpkin flesh; discard skin. Transfer pumpkin flesh to a food processor; process until smooth.
  • Set a colander in a large bowl and line with a double-layer of cheesecloth. Place pumpkin puree in cheesecloth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to drain, at least 4 hours, and up to 3 days.
