Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 ea pie pumpkin
  • 1.5 C water

Instructions

First way

  • Add water to the inner pot, and then add the trivet to the pot. 
  • Cut the pumpkin top off, and then cut each pumpkin into 6 slices. Scoop/scrape seeds and pulp off of the pumpkin. 
  • Place pumpkin slices on top of trivet and stack on top of each other.
  • Set the pressure valve to sealing, and then set for a manual high-pressure time of 6 minutes.
  • At the end of the cooking time, allow for a quick pressure release.
  • Remove pumpkin from the peeling and add to food processor.
  • Process the pumpkin until a nice puree has formed. Store in refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Or pour into ice cube trays and freeze for a longer period.

Directions (Second Way)

  • Add water to the inner pot, and then add the trivet to the pot. 
  • Cut the pumpkin stem off. Place whole pumpkin on top of trivet.
  • Set the pressure valve to sealing, and then set for a manual high-pressure time of 12 minutes.
  • At the end of the cooking time, allow for a natural pressure release.
  • Remove pumpkin from the pot. The peeling will pretty much fall off the pumpkin, and the seeds and pulp inside the pumpkin will also be easy to remove. 
  • Add the pumpkin to food processor.
  • Process the pumpkin until a nice puree has formed. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Amount of final puree will depend on number of pumpkins and pumpkin size used.
