Yield Makes about 3 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb fresh pumpkin, cut into roughly 4- by 5-inch wedges
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Special Equipment
cheesecloth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Brush flesh sides of pumpkin wedges with butter. Arrange, flesh side down, in a large roasting pan and cover pan tightly with foil. Bake, turning pieces after 1 hour, until flesh is very tender when pierced with a fork, about 2 hours. Remove foil and cool pumpkin in pan until it can be handled.
  • Discard any liquid that may have accumulated and scoop out pumpkin flesh, then purée pulp in batches in a food processor. Transfer to a large sieve or colander lined with several layers of cheesecloth set over a large bowl. Drain purée, chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap, 8 hours or overnight.

Just made this puree, and it came out perfectly! So smooth and creamy, and the flavor is amazing! I'm using it in a pumpkin pie later today, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
