Chef's Note

For a thicker purée, use less milk. To thin the purée, add a little more milk. Season to your liking with your favorite seasoning like pumpkin pie spice, pepper or fresh ginger.
Utilizing the whole pumpkin is a great way to add extra fiber and nutrients to your purée, and to minimize food waste. If you have leftover pumpkin, soups or smoothies are a great vehicle for leftovers to give an extra boost of flavor or creamy texture!
