Equipment
- Large spoon
- Large knife
- Large pot
Ingredients
- 1 pc Pumpkin
- Water
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Lay your pumpkin on a clean cutting board and begin by slicing it lengthwise so you have two halves. Use your large spoon to dig the seeds out of each half.
- Use your knife to cut the top portion off each half, removing the stem and skin. Proceed to use your knife and carefully peel the skin completely off of both halves.
- Cut each half into small chunks, no more than 2” long and 2” thick. Cutting them as evenly as possible will help ensure a quick and even cooking process.
- Place the pieces into a large pot and cover with water. Place the lid onto the pot and bring to a boil. Add a ½ teaspoon of salt to the water once boiling. Boil for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
