There are a million recipes for pumpkin puree but I assure you, my easy peasy slow cooker pumpkin puree really takes the cake! It is so rich in flavor!
Ingredients
- You will need one pie pumpkin that fits in your crock pot. You can also cut one in half to make it fit.
Instructions
- Poke a few holes in the pumpkin with a fork if using the pumpkin whole. If you cut it in half, skip this step.
- Place the pumpkin in a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until really soft.
- Remove the pumpkin from the slow cooker (it will be very hot) and scoop out the seeds and discard or roast.
- Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and puree in a food processor, using a hand blender or regular blender until well blended.
- You can store it in the fridge for a week or cool it and freeze it in mason jars or plastic bags.
