*To make fresh pumpkin puree cut a small pumpkin into chunks and place in a saucepan/stock pot. Add 1 to 1 ½ inches of water and cook on medium heat covered until pumpkin is tender- about 15 minutes. Let cool and scrape pumpkin flesh off the skin. Discard skin and mash flesh with a potato masher or fork.
