  1. 1

    Rinse the outsides of the pumpkins and squash, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters. Scoop out the seeds and the stringy membranes.

    Place the sugar pumpkin pieces skin-side up to line the bottom of the slow cooker. Tuck the kuri and kabocha pieces between the other pieces.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on Low for 3 1/2 hours.

  4. 4

    Peel off the pumpkin and squash skins and blend with an immersion blender on low speed until the pulp is smooth. Stir to combine, then use immediately or let cool before freezing.
