Pure Homemade Pumpkin Puree

When it comes to foods like these, it’s quicker to grab a can at the store. But if you want a much healthier, better-tasting puree, homemade is the way to go. This Pure Homemade Pumpkin Puree is super easy to make and very delicious. It may be stored in the fridge for three to four weeks. That gives you plenty of time to make many delicious recipes that call for pumpkin puree…

We grow pumpkins in our garden alongside potatoes as well. This is the biggest pumpkin that grew in our garden.

Not only we get to consume this delicious God’s creation in many ways, but we also have a good feed for our animals too. Like our chickens, for example, that give us delicious home eggs. Then later we have a healthier whole chicken to cook to go with a favorite dish.

And then have a delicious pumpkin treat for dessert. So you’ve got this mini circle of life in your own backyard to entertain you, while you enjoy those pumpkin seeds you’ve roasted up, as well. I hope you enjoy this homemade goodness!

Ingredients you will need:

1 medium – ripe pumpkin

    Wow! I have been looking for this type of recipe all summer. I have grown pumpkins this year and I wanted to make purée. This is perfect! Thank you very much!?

    I was baking pumpkin yesterday but when I was doing puree today I had to add water, because it wasn’t all juicy and wouldn’t mix at all, what did I do wrong? I baked it more than 1:15 closer to 1:40 mins. It just wasn’t soft enough so I baked it more.

      I think you over baked the pumpkin and it got dry. I used homegrown pumpkin too, maybe they are more softer after baking. The puree turned out much more runnier that the one you buy at the store in cans. Try to buy organic pumpkin or pick one straight from a farm field. I hope this helps.

    I know that you say you can store this in a refrigerator for several weeks, but I also freeze some as well. I scoop 1 cup portions into small freezer bags, lay them flat in freezer until they are frozen(for neater storage), and then you can enjoy this for baking in those cold winter months, as well!

    I wish I had a big freezer so I could freeze some of this pure, but I don’t at this point. Is there a way to can this in jars for future use?
