Pure Homemade Pumpkin Puree

October 6, 2015 By Valya of Valya's Taste of Home 12 Comments

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

      I’m glad you found what you’ve been looking for. It’s so easy to make this puree, plus home made is always the best! I made it again yesterday, and will be making pumpkin pull-apart bread with pecans and caramel today. Enjoy 🙂

    I am cooking pumpkin pancakes tomorrow for breakfast, do you think I can use this puree to substitute the canned one?
    Great photos, Valya!

    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?

      No, I have not experiment any other way. Canning it is a great idea though. I will work on the canning version of it.

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
