Ingredients
  • 4 - 6 lbs pumpkin, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Place pumpkin cut side up on a sheet tray and sprinkle with salt. You may need to take a small sliver out of the side so it stands up. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until the pumpkin flesh is fork tender.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the pumpkin cool. Spoon pumpkin out of skin and place in a food processor. Working in batches, pulse until completely smooth. Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Pumpkin should keep for 1 week chilled.
