When we cut a pumpkin very often we don't need all of it and part of it stays in the fridge, until it goes bad and we throw it away, so it would be more appropriate to just freeze it.
Here's how to do it! First, clean the pumpkin from seeds and cut it into suitable pieces.
You can leave the pieces spaced apart on a suitable mat in the freezer to freeze before transferring them into bags and boxes.
They can also be directly put in bags, but you must have previously divided them into suitable portions for cooking.
You can also prepare pumpkin puree, which you can also freeze for later. To do this, puree the raw cleaned pumpkin with very little water and distribute it in suitable cups and molds and freeze it.
There is also another option that is suitable for the preparation, especially for baby food. First, boil the pumpkin, puree it again, put it in suitable molds and freeze it and that way the already prepared pumpkin cubes are ready to use when you need them.
The frozen pumpkin and the puree can be stored for about a year in the freezer.
