How to cook pumpkin puree with your instant pot pressure cooker. You will love how delicious homemade instant pot pumpkin puree is and then you can use it for baby food, making all your favourite fall treats as well as for homemade pumpkin pie.
Place 1 cup (240ml) of water into the bottom of your instant pot pressure cooker. Peel and dice your pumpkin add it to a steamer basket and lower into the instant pot. Season.
Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 5 minutes, followed by a quick pressure release, then remove the lid.
Remove the steamer basket and transfer the pumpkin into a mesh strainer over a bowl and then allow the liquid to drain through. This will stop your pumpkin from being watery and easy to use in recipes. You can also drain it over the instant pot.
Allow it to drain for a further 5-10 minutes to get rid of the last bit of the pumpkin water and shake the mesh strainer and it will turn into a pumpkin puree ball.
Then load into a bowl and it is done.
Alternatively, add the pumpkin pie filling ingredients listed above and load them into a bowl with the pumpkin puree and mix to create pumpkin pie filling.
