The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This pumpkin puree is useful to have in the fridge around the holidays. I've used it to create raw pumpkin crumble and raw pumpkin fudge, just to name a few of the raw recipes that I've whipped up with this pumpkin puree.
An important note about selecting your pumpkin. Do not use the large pumpkins that are sold at grocery stores for carving. Instead, use a "sugar pumpkin" or a "pie pumpkin," which are generally sold (during autumn) at your local grocery store in the produce section for baking. "Pie" or "sugar" pumpkins are much smaller, sweeter, softer and less fibrous since they are grown for cooking/flavor as opposed to grown for size. If you're not sure, just ask someone working in the produce department at your local grocery store for a pumpkin that is sold to be eaten!
To prep the pumpin, I chopped the pumpkin in half, scraped out the seeds and chopped it into small pieces. I did not bother to peel it, I just blended the pieces of pumpkin peel and all.
Also, you will need a high-speed blender to adequately blend this recipe since the pumpkin can be tough.

I would imagine you can freeze it. I used to freeze my cooked puree. It may be a bit runny, so just make sure to remove excess water after thawing.

can the puree be frozen and then taken out later and used in the pumpkin recipes?

What is the crumble made of? I'm new to this app, but was only able to view the puree recipe.

Hi, I would love to try this recipe, but I am none the wiser which varieties of pumpkin you are using. Could you please name the varieties or photograph them? Hard for an australian - we don't have baking pumpkins, but we do have several varieties....

Hi Rae! As a rule (anywhere), the smaller the pumpkin, the better it is for recipes. Some types have the word 'sugar' in the name, but that's not a definite. Small pumpkins are the sweetest.

Raw pumpkin puree recipe
OH....MY......GOSH....!!!!!! I've only just made the pumpkin filling. Ran out of ingredients for the crumble. But, am going to the store today. I'm serving this to my guests for the game tonight. Wow! That's going to be my Thanksgiving dessert for sure!! No more pie for me!!! I made the banana cream pie last night and put it in the freezer. I'm going to sample that tonight as well.
I'm sampling desserts to bring to my sister's. I want to be more prepared this year.
I'll send a picture of the finished product when I'm done.

Ahem. You mention raw pumpkin fudge without a recipe? How could you? :)

I know, I am bad! I have a few pieces left in my freezer, but I can't decide whether I want to tweak the recipe a bit because I feel like something is missing and the texture just isn't quite right for my liking. It's tasty, but I think it needs a tiny rawtarian tweak of some sort! More on this soon.

I'm "cooking" for someone on a low GI diet so I can't use the dates.Can this be made without them? Thanks!
The Rawtarian
Oct 31, 2013
Hi Jill! Hmmm, normally if you can't do dates I'd suggest raisins or prunes, but that won't work for your friend either.
You might be able to tweak this substantially to make it work, for example, 1 cup pumpkin, some chia seeds to thicken it (4 tbsp?), some coconut oil (2 tablespoons?) to help it stiffen up a bit and then stevia as a sweetener taste.
But this is just me talking off the top of my head. Might be better to do something like my chia pudding and use stevia instead of other liquid sweetener. Might have better results that way!

Hi!
So would it be possible to only use water and pumpkin? What do the dates do? Only add the sweet taste or do they change the consistency?
