Instructions
In a large microwave safe bowl, place diced cushaw in a single layer. Not all of the cushaw will fit at once; you will have to repeat the steps multiple times.
Add just enough water to start coming up the sides of the cushaw, about 1 inch of water.
Cook on high for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cushaw is easily pierced with a fork.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer cushaw to a blender or food processor. Puree until completely smooth, no lumps.
Cool and use in a recipe or freeze for up to 3 months!
Notes
Pureed Cushaw can be used in just about any recipe that normally uses Pumpkin. However, cushaw puree has more liquid than pureed/canned pumpkin. So when using cushaw in place of pumpkin, use less liquid than the recipe originally calls for.
