Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 small-medium pumpkin ((needs to fit in the pot))
  • 1 cup water

Instruction

  • Starting with a clean pumpkin, cut a circle around the stem and remove. Using a spoon, scrape out seeds and stringy flesh from inside the pumpkin and discard.
  • Add 1 cup of water to instant pot. Place pumpkin into instant pot (you can use the rack or not, it doesn't matter). Close lid and seal pressure valve.  Set on manual/high pressure for 13 minutes.
  • When the time is up, manually release the pressure (flip the valve), then carefully remove the top. Carefully remove the pumpkin, it will be hot.
  • Scrape the pumpkin flesh away from the skin (will be super easy, but hot), and place into a blender or food processor, or back into the instant pot and use a hand blender. Blend until completely pureed. 
  • Use in desired recipe or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Alternatively, see above directions to freeze.
