Notes
*Make your own pumpkin puree:
Pumpkin puree is very easy to make at home. Cut the butternut squash in half, remove the seeds - if you like you can clean the seeds and roast them as well - and roast the pumpkin halves with the skin facing upwards on a baking tray in the oven at 220° Celsius. The pumpkin skin should be lightly browned and easy to pierce with a fork. Remove pumpkin from oven and allow to cool. Then scrape out pumpkin flesh with a spoon and place in an airtight container. The pumpkin puree will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It can also be frozen in portions.
