Provided by Alton Brown

Time 1h57m

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 pounds puree

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (4 to 6-pound) baking pumpkin, rinsed and dried
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice a small piece of skin off the one side of the pumpkin so when laid on its side, the pumpkin will lay flat without rolling. Remove the stem and split the pumpkin in half from top to bottom, using a large cleaver and a mallet. Scoop out the seeds and fiber with a large metal spoon or ice cream scoop. Cut the fibers with kitchen shears if necessary. Reserve seeds for another use.
  • Sprinkle the flesh with kosher salt and lay the halves, flesh side down, on a parchment paper-lined half sheet pan. Roast until a paring knife can be easily inserted and removed from the pumpkin, 30 to 45 minutes. Test in several places to ensure doneness.
  • Remove the half sheet pan to a cooling rack and cool the pumpkin for 1 hour. Using a large spoon, remove the roasted flesh of the pumpkin from the skin to the bowl of a food processor. Process until the flesh is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Yield Makes about 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 medium pumpkin, about 5 pounds (2.5 kg)
8 cups (2L) water
1 1/2 pounds (675 g) piloncillo or panela, broken into small pieces, just under 4 cups (960 ml) or dark brown sugar
3 2-inch (5-cm) cinnamon sticks
10 guavas (optional), halved, seeds left in

Steps:

  • Pierce the shell-like outer rind of the pumpkin in several places to enable the syrup to penetrate the flesh and cut into pieces about 3 inches (8 cm) square, leaving the fibrous flesh and seeds inside.
  • In a wide, heavy saucepan put enough water to completely cover the pumpkin. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil. Add the pieces of pumpkin and guavas and cook over fairly high heat, moving the pieces around from time to time to avoid sticking. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking until the syrup has reduced and the flesh of the pumpkin is a rich brown.

Tips:

  • Choose a sugar with a good flavor. Muscovado sugar, brown sugar, and coconut sugar are all good choices, but you can use any type of sugar you like.
  • Use a variety of spices to add flavor to the pumpkin. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are all classic spices that work well with pumpkin. You can also add other spices, such as allspice, cardamom, or coriander.
  • Cook the pumpkin slowly over low heat. This will help the sugar to caramelize and the pumpkin to become tender.
  • Don't overcook the pumpkin. The pumpkin should be tender but still hold its shape.
  • Serve the pumpkin warm or at room temperature. You can also chill it and serve it cold.
