When I lived in Washington DC my sous chef made me my first pumpkin pie and I was hooked on the idea of vegetables being used in desserts. The pie is finished in my kitchen with bitter caramel ice cream but smooth bitter chocolate sorbet would work a treat.

Pumpkin puree (makes lots) (prep time 15 minutes) (cook time 45 minutes)
Cut, deseed, season, roast in oven at 180C
When cooked leave to cool-then peel and blend puree until smooth.
If you can-leave to hang overnight in the fridge. Put a thin cloth on the bottom of a strainer-put puree on top and wrap leftover cloth over the top of puree. Put a light to medium weight on top and leave. This will help to make the puree as dry as possible.
Keep 680g of puree and freeze down the rest in 680g batches for future recipes. If wrapped well enough it will last 2-4 months in the freezer.
