When my MIL makes pumpkin pie (DP's stepdad was American so she had to learn how!) she uses steamed and mashed/blended pumpkin and extra sugar.
If it is not a 'pumpkin specific' recipe you can substitute stewed apples/apple sauce instead. |

You can buy canned pumpkin in the David Jones food hall, we lived in the US for 4 years so go there now and then to satisfy our American food cravings

I have substituted roasted pumpkin. What I do is put half a pumpkin with the seeds removed on a roasting tray and bake for 40 min - 1 hr (depending on the size) until cooked through. A lot of moisture will collect in the seed cavity, pour it off then scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Then mash with a fork or purée in a blender.

What about the baby food puree? Is it the same?
I would use fresh though. |

Just cook up pumpkin and puree it! Getting the quantity right might be the only tricky part. |
