Procedure
Scoop out the pulp from baked pumpkin. You may discard the edges if they get black. Take the pulp into your blender jar or food processor and make a fine paste. Your pumpkin puree is ready.
Packing & Freezing
Measure 1 cup of puree in each zip lock bag. Close the zip by letting out all the air from the bag. Repeat the process with all the pulp. You may label the bags with date and measurements (1 cup). Keep the bags in the freezer. You can preserve for more than 6 months. When you are ready to use just grab one bag from the freezer. It is already pre measured for you. If the recipe calls for only 1/2 cup, take half of the quantity from the bag and put the other half back in the freezer.
