Making pumpkin puree at home is incredibly quick, easy and you can store it in freezer for up to 3 months!With my recipe you don't need a oven and it's ready in only 10 minutes.

Instructions
Wash and peel your pumpkin.
Cut pumpkin in medium size chunks.
Place some water into the bottom part of a Microwave steramer and place the pumpkin chunks into the top part. Microwave for about 10 minutes or until fork tender. If you don't have a microwave steamer, you can use a classic steamer pot: it will be ready in about 15-20 minutes. If you haven’t a steamer pot, you can rost the pumpkin chunks in the oven at 180°C-350°F for about 40-45 minutes.
When still hot, process the pumpkin chunks with a hand blender until smooth puree.
