Notes

  1. In the US, sugar pumpkins also called pie pumpkins are used in sweet pumpkin treats. However, in Australia, Kent or Jap pumpkin is the sweetest variety available. So, to make this pumpkin purée I have used small Kent pumpkin.
  2. This purée is an excellent substitute for canned pumpkin purée
