Pumpkin Puree

Hesty has been complaining that some things you just can't do easily. In America, almost every store carries cans of pumpkin puree year round. Outside of America? Good luck! She got lots of strange looks when looking for pumpkin puree in France. Thank goodness for the internet! She learned how to make her own puree and now she can make all sorts of pumpkin goodies :)
