Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • 1 Pan for boiling water
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 2-3 Ziplock Bags

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole Pumpkin

  • The first step is to wash the pumpkin and remove the pumpkin flesh. Cut off the stem and the blossom end with a sharp knife.
  • Cut your pumpkin into manageable pieces that suit your needs.
  • Then, scoop out the seeds and any pulp with a large spoon. Save the pumpkin seeds for roasting later and wrap in aluminium foil.

  • Place the blanched pumpkin onto a sheet and freeze.

Notes

If freezing pumpkin puree, place cold puree directly in zip lock bags or into a muffin tray or ice cube tray and then into the zip lock bag before freezing.
