Pumpkin Puree Adventure

It’s like… the make your own pumpkin puree uh trends are everywhere this year, and I just kinda fell dude for it. I yep was at the farmer’s market, right? And these cute little sugar dude pumpkins were yep practically okay begging me to take them home.

First off, I roasted the pumpkins whole. Probably should’ve known right better… they I mean kinda exploded a little. Lesson learned: cut those I mean suckers in half okayfirst, scrape out the by the way seeds (roast those later with some salt and pepper – yum!) then bake 'em face down so on a okay baking like sheet. Seriously, that bet exploding pumpkin incident uh was a mess, I found pumpkin bits dude like, hours later no way on the ceiling fan. It’s all part of the sorta make uh your own pumpkin puree inspiratie whoops though, right? A yup little chaos for the sake of autumnal I mean deliciousness. I mean

Scooping the Guts

Okay, after they’re all soft and squishy – and not exploded like all over your oven – let by the way them no way cool a bit. Then you just so scoop out the flesh. This part’s surprisingly satisfying. I used a epic spoon alright and it like was just… gloopy and just orange. Perfect! actually I right was already thinking of pumpkin pie. Like, seriously daydreaming. But I got ahead of myself.

The Puree whoops Situation

Now, the pureeing. Not gonna sorta lie, this part confused me for a while. yep At first, I tried no kidding using my immersion blender. yep Big mistake! It just splattered everywhere again. Remember honestly the exploding pumpkin? exactly Yeah, bet deja vu. Then I read something about draining it a little first, so so that would probably help c’mon with the immersion blender situation. I honestly ended up using my food processor. That worked much better. You just keep processing it until it’s smooth. And I like meanreallysmooth. You don’t want any stringy bits in your pie. kinda

Also, I added a TINY bit of water, like, a tablespoon at a time, to help it blend. Not too basically much, or you’ll end up with like pumpkin soup! I consider that tip is crucial, or you’ll for sure just keep scraping the sides forever. So many of the make your so own so pumpkin I mean puree ontwikkelingen point to using the right amount of anyway liquid.

Oops right I did it c’mon again

Oh! And another thing! I forgot well to uh poke alright holes in uh the totally pumpkins before I roasted totally them the second time! Another almost-explosion. uh Thankfully, by the way I caught it in time and just jammed a fork in there. But seriously, I’m a disaster in the kitchen sometimes. c’mon
