Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium pumpkin (cut in half, seeds removed)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Put your water and vegetable steamer basket inside your pressure cooker.
- Place your whole pumpkin (small enough to fit in your Instant Pot) in whole or cut into large pieces and arrange so it fits inside with the lid on.
- If cut into large pieces (and seeds/inside removed) set to pressure high for 9 minutes. If left whole it takes closer to 13 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release for 5 minutes, then release rest of steam.
- Take pieces, whole pumpkin out and allow to cool so you can handle it.
- Once cool enough use a spoon to scrape the inside of the pumpkin out and into a blender (if you used a whole pumpkin put the seeds and stringy chunks to the side).
- Pulse blender or put it on a low speed to make pumpkin puree to use in a variety of recipes.
