1 sugar pumpkin

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and gather all the necessary ingredients.
Cut the pumpkin in half from stem to base. Remove all seeds and pulp, then cover each half securely with foil.
Place the foil-covered pumpkin halves in the preheated oven, foil-side up, and bake until the pumpkin is tender, approximately 1 hour.
Once cooled slightly, scrape the pumpkin flesh from the shell halves and puree in a blender until completely smooth.
Strain the puree to remove any remaining stringy pieces, ensuring a silky smooth texture.
Use immediately, or store the pumpkin puree in freezer-safe bags in the freezer for later use.
