To make pumpkin puree, simply peel and dice a butternut or kent pumpkin. Place diced pumpkin into a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Continue to cook on a low boil, until the pumpkin is tender. Drain, then place the steamed pumpkin in a blender, and blend until smooth. If it’s struggling to blend, add a dash of water.
