Optional: Visit a local pumpkin patch and pick out your own sugar pie pumpkin to make your own pumpkin puree! See the recipe for homemade pumpkin puree below.

Wash the pumpkin and cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center.

Place the pumpkin halves on a sheet pan and roast in an oven at 350 °F for 45 minutes or until pumpkin is fork-tender and golden brown.

Peel off the skin and discard.

Puree the pumpkin until the mixture is smooth (you may need to add water if mixture gets too thick).

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
