To make the pumpkin/ butternut squash puree
- Quarter the pumpkin/ butternut squash then de-seed and discard the fibrous inner. Carefully remove the skin with a knife then chop into roughly 20cm cubes.
- Steam for 15 minutes until tender then allow to cool slightly.
- Whizz in a food processor until smooth then keep refrigerated or freeze in batches.
- Alternatively, quarter the pumpkin and cut each quarter into about 3 wedges. Roast in a deep baking tray with 1cm of water for about 40 minutes or until tender then scoop out the flesh and process until smooth
