    Homemade Pumpkin Puree. - It's really easy to make homemade pumpkin puree, you just need to roast the pumpkin and then puree it a food processor. One ingredient needed!

    Our oven is quite small, so we're not baking so much since we moved here, but I really love baking during the fall and winter, so I was looking on Pinterest for new recipes last week and I found a few that looked amazing. They were made with pumpkin puree though, which is not a common ingredient here in Spain. I've never tried it actually before because it's almost impossible to find it here, so I decided to make my own pumpkin puree and I'm so happy with the result, it tastes awesome!

    I thought it was difficult to make pumpkin puree at home, but you only need one ingredient: pumpkin. I've read that pie pumpkins are the best, but I think you can also use any other type. You should give this recipe a try because is so simple and you just need to roast the pumpkin and puree it in a food processor, that's all.

    I can't wait to share with you some recipes using this awesome homemade pumpkin puree!

    Tips:

    • This recipe works for any amount of pumpkin.
    • Feel free to use any type of pumpkin, although pie pumpkin is better for this recipe because is sweeter and your pumpkin puree will be tastier.

      Pumpkin pie is a tradition in the States and we LOVE it! I felt so sorry when my son, who lives in Poland, couldn't find any either! He wanted to make a good old pumpkin pie for the holiday. So I told him to look for any orangish squash and he found the closest to it he could and it worked just fine! He said when he had his company over for the holiday dinner, they were grossed out. The idea of a "sweet" pie using a vegetable was beyond their imaginations. Most of them didn't like it. Ha Ha!

        Hi Louann! I don't know why people are so closed minded... Pumpkin pie is not a typical Spanish dish, but I love it. I'm always trying new recipes and cuisines and most of them are amazing! Have a nice week 🙂
