Arrange the pieces in a single layer, skin side up, in a large, shallow baking pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 to 11/2 hours or until tender. Scoop the pulp from the rind. Place part of the pulp in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Transfer the pumpkin into a strainer lined with cheesecloth or overlapping, large coffee filters. Set over a large bowl and press out any liquid. Cover the surface of the pur?e with plastic wrap and let it drain, chilled, overnight. Microwave Instructions
Halve pumpkin; remove seeds and cut pumpkin into 1-inch cubes. Place in a shallow 2-quart dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap, leaving an opening for steam to escape.
