Homemade Pumpkin Pie Puree

Nothing more daunting that looking at a Pumpkin and thinking.. Yes.. I can do this! 
Now with that being "thought and never done" I decided to do it... today ... 30 minutes ago if you will.   It's a relatively quick process too.  Who would have known.

Pumpkin... check!   Sharpish knife... check!  Pot to steam the pumpkin in... Check! Oster handheld puree'erer thinga ma bob.  Check!


Sitting pretty waiting to be steamed..


Silent screams can be heard from pumpkins everywhere that are viewing this..


mmm steamed pumpkin guts


pureed pumpkin guts


Spiced Pumpkin guts



One word of warning. No matter HOW tempting it is. Don't stick your finger into hot pumpkin guts. 
( what.. .I couldn't resist and didn't have a spoon, sadly.. lesson learned but oh so yummy!!  )

Now once it's cooled part can go into the frig for tomorrows pie baking and the rest will be sealed in freezer containers for later use. :) 

Thanks for peeking!!!
