Sugar Pumpkin Puree
Ingredients
1 sugar pumpkin, cut in half and seeds removed
Water
Cinnamon, optional
Directions
Place the pumpkin cut side down in a baking dish. Add about 2 inches of water and sprinkle in some cinnamon, if using. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly, then remove the meat. Mash to desired consistency with a fork, or put in a food processor for younger babies.
Suggestions
A dash of ginger or cloves would be another option in addition to or in place of the cinnamon.
