Pumpkin Puree in the Instant Pot

Ingredients

• 1 3-4 lb pie pumpkin (aka sugar pumpkin)
• 1 3/4 cup water

Directions

1. Wash the pumpkin well and dry it.
2. Using a paring or serrated knife, cut a circle around the stem (top of pumpkin). Make the circle large enough to fit your hand in.
3. Using a spoon and your hand, remove the seeds. Feel free to toss them or set them aside to bake at a later time.
4. Set a wire rack into the instant pot. Add the water and place the pumpkin (top up) onto the wire rack. Close the lid so it locks and seal the pressure valve. Set the instant pot on high and cook for 20 mins, allowing the pressure to release naturally.
5. Once complete, allow the pumpkin to cool and remove the pumpkin skin, leaving just the flesh. Mash it and find a delicious fall recipe to make!
