• Use an immersion blender or transfer the hot mixture into a food processor or a blender and process until all the pumpkin is pureed.
• Transfer it back to the pan and boil it one last time. Taste for seasoning and add more if necessary.
• When ready to serve, if desired, sprinkle it with toasted coconut flakes, a pinch of cayenne and/or fresh sage.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

• Let cool, and then remove the peel from the pumpkin.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
