Then remove the beans and paper, and cook for another 10 mins until pastry is pale golden and biscuity. Take out of the oven and allow to cool slightly. 4. Turn oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 then push the cooled pumpkin through a sieve into a large bowl to make a smooth puree. 5. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, salt, nutmeg and half the cinnamon.

Pour into the tart shell and cook for 10 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for a further 35-40 mins until the filling has just set. 7.
