Homemade Pumpkin Puree

As we are in the midst of fall, pumpkin baking is getting more and more common and popular. The one ingredient all those recipes call for is pumpkin puree. Usually, canned pumpkin puree can be purchased from the store and used in baking and cooking recipes. However, to save some money you can make your own pumpkin puree at home with just a pumpkin, salt and your oven! Check out the instructions below for making homemade pumpkin puree:

Ingredients Needed:

Whole Pumpkin
Salt

Instructions:

Wash the whole pumpkin and remove the stem. Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape out all the pumpkin insides and seeds.
Once the pumpkin is clean on the inside, cut it into cubes. Next, fill a large pot with about 1″ of water and warm over medium heat.
Add the pumpkin cubes and a dash two of salt to the water. Cook the pumpkin until water is simmering and reduce the heat to medium low.
Using a pot lid, place it over top of the pumpkin and let the pumpkin cubes steam under the lid for about 15 minutes or until soft.
Once the texture is soft, remove pumpkin from heat, drain the water and let the cubes cool till workable.
Once the pumpkin cubes have cooled, scrap the meat of the pumpkin from the shell and place in a food processor or blender. Blend till smooth.
Lastly, once your pumpkin has turned to a smooth texture, return it to the pot and cook off any remaining moisture.
Remove from heat, let cool and use in any of your favorite recipes or freeze it to save it for when you need it!

30 No Bake Desserts Perfect for Thanksgiving

This Raining Hot Coupons deal was posted on October 29, 2015 at 10:17 am MST 1 Comment

When I think of Thanksgiving I think of Turkey and sides….by the time I think about dessert I just don’t have the energy. I’m lucky enough to get the entire meal on the table without burning something! Often times after dinner we play Euchre or Yahtzee. This gives our bellies time to digest and then dig into dessert a few hours later!

It’s this time that I enjoy the most with my family. We create memories, celebrate our traditions and are able to put down the electronics and spend some much needed time together. I often create No Bake Desserts On Thanksgiving because it allows me to make it a day or two ahead of time. Not to mention the oven is getting a work out on Thanksgiving.

When it comes to the Holidays, I love them oh so much but the food prep idea stresses me out. We like to eat the same thing every year but have made it a tradition to try out a new side dish or two every year.
