This Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree is such an amazing recipe.  Before I owned an instant pot, I would have never considered making my own pumpkin puree.  Ladies lets all take a minute and recall at least one holiday season where you could not buy any canned pumpkin puree because it was sold out. 

This has happened to me more holiday seasons than I care to think about.  I get scared every year that it may be sold out before I have bought the cans of pumpkin puree that I will need.  Have no fear any longer, you can stick your pumpkin into your instant pot and whip up some of your own homemade pumpkin puree. Homemade is always better and this could not be any easier.

How Long Does Pumpkin Puree Last In The Fridge? 

Roughly around one weeks time. Store in a glass or plastic container with a lid. You will see that the liquid can begin to separate over time. Stir and then use it like you normally would. Anywhere from 5-7 days is the max for storing in the fridge.

Ingredients

• 1 small pumpkin pie pumpkin
• 1 cup water, for instant pot

Instructions

1. Add water to inner pot. Place pumpkin on trivet in the inner pot. Remove stem if needed so it doesn’t touch the inside of the lid.
2. Close the instant pot lid and turn pressure valve to seal. Cook on manual high pressure for 13 minutes.
3. Allow for a natural pressure release.
4. Carefully remove the pumpkin from the Instant Pot. Remove peels. Scoop out all of the seeds. Use a blender to puree the pumpkin to a smooth consistency.

Notes

If the pumpkin does not fit, you can cut it up, into large chunks and put it into the pot in chunks instead of whole. Decrease the cook time for 6 minutes.
