How long do you bake them, and at what temperature? I am making pumpkin puree to make pumpkin butter. I don't have a steamer to steam them and I don't want to use the microwave. I appreciate your help.
I cut mine in half, scoop out the seeds, lay cut down in a cake pan, add about 2 inches of water, and bake at 375*. I start checking them about 45 minutes or so by squeezing the pumpkins feeling for soft squishyness.
I also let them cool in the pan cut side down so they don't dry out. Then scoop out pulp into a strainer and let drip for about 30 minutes. I find my pumpkin pulp just comes out best that way.
Hope that helps!
