Ingredients

  • 1 Sugar Pumpkin
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  1. First, wash any dirt from the outside of the small sugar pumpkin.

  2. Next cut the small pumpkin in half with a large sharp knife.

  3. Clean out the pumpkin guts using a spoon. Scrape the sides of the pumpkin to get all the stringy things and the seeds out. You can wash and save the seeds to roast later, but throw away the strings they are not needed.

  4. Place 2 cups of water in a slow cooker. Then place the whole pumpkin inside at least a 6 quart slow cooker. Place the lid on top.

  5. Cook the sugar pumpkin on high in the slow cooker for 4 hours or slow for 8 hours on high setting.

  6. One the pumpkin is cooked all the way through, scrape out all the pumpkin pulp and blend with a blender to have pumpkin puree. Be careful not to get any of the pumpkin skin.

Recipe Notes

  • Save the seed to roast them later
  • Use the pumpkin puree to make muffins, soups, and breads.
