Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pumpkin
  • 1.5 c water

Instruction

  • Put your water and vegetable steamer basket inside your pressure cooker.
  • Place your whole (small enough pumpkin to fit in your Instant Pot) in whole or cut into large pieces and arranged so it fits inside with the lid on.
  • If cut into large pieces (and seeds/inside removed) set to pressure high for 9 minutes. If left whole it takes closer to 13 minutes.
  • Allow to naturally release for 5 minutes, then release rest of steam.
  • Take pieces, whole pumpkin out and allow to cool so you can handle it.
  • Once cool enough use a spoon to scrape the inside of the pumpkin out and into a blender. (if you used a whole pumpkin put the seeds and stringy chunks to the side.
  • Pulse blender or put it on a low speed to make pumpkin puree to use in a variety of recipes like our homemade pumpkin butter I will link to above this recipe card.
