Home Made Pumpkin Puree

Recipe by Gluten Free Baking By Rachelle (Rachelle Himmelman)

Fall is a wonderful time of the year on so many levels, but one of my most favorite things to do is make Home Made Pumpkin Puree and I find this method incredibly easy and absolutely delicious, you will never again want to buy the canned puree. You can use the puree right away or freeze and use for another time.
