Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker pot.  Place a low rise trivet inside and place pumpkin on top.
  2. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes.
  3. When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
  4. Let pumpkin cool slightly.  Peel with a knife or by hand.  Cut pumpkin in half and remove the seeds.
  5. Mash pumpkin with a fork until smooth.  Can also put into a blender to get it really smooth.
  6. Use immediately, refrigerate, or freeze.

Notes

  • Add 1 cup of puree to a quart size, freezer safe, ziplock bag.  Press the air out, then seal it shut.  Smooth the puree out so it can lay flat in the freezer.
