Just like she said, it really was very simple. Cut a pie pumpkin in half, remove the stem and scoop out the seeds. Place the pumpkin face down on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about and hour or when the pumpkin seems "squishy".
The skin pretty much peeled right off the pumpkin.
To puree I mashed with a potato masher and then blended with my mixer a little. You can also use your blender or food processor.
The process took me back to last fall when I was making Hannah butternut & acorn squash baby food....I know she would have loved pumpkin too..this would make great baby food!
The only thing that I will do differently next time is bake more pumpkins! I want to make lots of puree and put some in the freezer for more holiday baking...yum!

Oh wow! Look at you using REAL pumpkin! I have never done that before!! Thanks for sharing your photos - I really should give this a try! Thanks!
Awesome! So perhaps we can get together & do a huge batch, I have a great food processor (used for making baby food a few years ago:) and I use pumpkin ALOT.
