This is a simple method I use for preparing pureed pumpkin. It freezes well for use in pies, muffins, etc.

Ingredients
1 sugar pumpkin
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Cut pumpkin in half, stem to base. Remove seeds and pulp. Cover each half with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven, foil-side up, until tender, about 1 hour.
Scrape pumpkin flesh from shell halves and puree in a blender. Strain to remove any remaining stringy pieces. Use or store in the freezer in freezer-safe bags.
