Image via WikipediaYou can use pumpkins, pie pumpkins, or even butternut squash for this recipe. While you can certainly use canned puree, of course we here at Cooking From Scratch don't recommend it! It's surprisingly easy to make your own.
Here are the instructions, since the recipe doesn't cover it:
1. Wash pumpkin thoroughly. Cut around stem and remove, as if getting ready to make a Jack-o-Lantern. (If using squash, simply slice off the stem end.)
2. Cut in half length-wise using a large sharp knife.
3. Scrape out seeds and inner membranes.
4. Place cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet, and bake at 350-degrees for about 1 hour, or 'til soft.
5. Let cool until able to handle. Then scrape out pulp and mash with a fork, or process in food processor until smooth.
6. Use in the following recipe, or for pumpkin muffins, pie, or a hearty fall soup.
7. Enjoy!
