Pumpkin pie filling. Be sure that when a recipe calls for pumpkin puree you do not accidentally use a can of pumpkin pie filling.
Pumpkin puree can sometimes be labeled as 100% pure pumpkin or solid pack pumpkin. It won’t contain any spices or sugars – it is simply cooked and mashed-up pumpkin.
Make My Own Pumpkin Puree?
Use pie pumpkins or sugar pumpkins, not the kind for carving Jack-o-Lanterns.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Wash and dry the outside. Slice it in half from top to bottom and scoop out the seeds and strings.
Place the halves, with the insides facing down, on the baking pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes until soft.
Allow the pumpkin to cool a bit. Scoop out the pumpkin meat and place it in a blender. Puree until smooth.
Drain excess liquid by placing puree in a strainer or cheesecloth.
One 6-8 inch pumpkin should yield about 3 cups of puree.
What to do With Leftover Pumpkin Puree?
Some recipes may not use an entire can of puree, but that doesn’t mean the rest needs to be tossed.
Stir it in oatmeal, yogurt, or shakes.
Spread over waffles, bagels, or ice cream.
Add into soups and casseroles.
How to Store Pumpkin Puree?
Place leftover puree in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 4-5 months.
How do I Make Pumpkin Pie Spice?
Make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice with nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon.
