Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Put the whole pumpkin in oven
3. Bake 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your pumpkin
4. It’s done when the tip of your knife sticks into the skin a little ways (The skin will still be tough-it’s not going to turn into a baked potato!)
5. Remove pumpkin from oven and allow to cool
6. Optional: To speed cooling, remove top of pumpkin to let the steam escape, but be careful, it’s hot!
7. Once cool enough to handle, cut into large chunks removing stringy stuff and seeds
8. Run pumpkin chunks through food processor or blender
