I don't add water when I mash pumpkin at all. My guess would be that when you make a pie with it, the baking time on the pie might be longer because of the added moisture in the pumpkin, but that's just a guess.

I added a little water a Tablespoon at a time and measured it all and place into freezer bags ready for recipes. THEN I re-read your post of "how-to" and saw that you said it should be the consistency of mashed potatoes. I know I don't like my mashed pot's quite as "wet" as my puree' is. Do you have any suggestions? Is it ruined? It isn't to the point of being pourable, just a little moist. Thanks, Angela Suzanne,

The microwave method seemed a lot easier!! The poll didn't work for me. I told me I had already voted! Probably just a glitch. Love the new look.
