Description
Discover how to simply make pumpkin puree to either feed to your baby directly or to use in recipes such as pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin waffles
Ingredients
- 1 pumpkin
Instructions
1. Get hold of a very sharp knife and slice the top off the pumpkin so you can access the inside.
2. Remove the seeds and pulp and set to one side. I don't use the pulp for anything else, but the seeds are extremely nutritional and taste delicious when toasted.
3. Peel the skin off the pumpkin.
4. Cut the pumpkin into chunks.
5. Place all the chunks into a large pan and fill with boiling water. Simmer on the stove for 20 minutes (or until very soft)
6. Use a blender to crush the pumpkin flesh into a puree.
7. The pumpkin puree can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen in batches for up to a month.
