This Homemade Pumpkin Purée is a simple, nourishing recipe made with just one ingredient: fresh pumpkin. Naturally creamy, mildly sweet and beautifully golden-orange, homemade pumpkin purée is a versatile whole-food ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Pumpkin is particularly rich in beta-carotene, a plant pigment that the body converts into vitamin A.
