Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree
Learn how to make pumpkin puree in an Instant Pot pressure cooker with a whole pumpkin. This is the easiest way I've found to make pumpkin puree at home, and you don't need a food mill.
Pie pumpkins and sugar pumpkins make the best pumpkin puree. You could technically use a carving pumpkin, but it won't have a great flavor.
I used my 6 quart Instant Pot. Depending on the size of the pumpkin, you can fit 1 to 1 1/2 pumpkins in it. I can usually get three halves in mine, so it doesn't take long at all to do three pumpkins.
This steams the pumpkin, so the skin falls right off. Then blend the pumpkin with some water to get pumpkin puree to use in recipes. You can freeze leftovers to use later. I like to freeze in a silicone ice cube tray to use in recipes.
