How people cook with it
Pumpkin puree is a staple in many kitchens, especially during the fall season. It is often used as a base for baked goods and other comforting recipes.
- Baking pies
- Making muffins
- Creating soups
- Adding to smoothies
To use this pumpkin puree, simply open the can and drain off any excess liquid if present. You can then measure out the amount needed for your recipe. It can be directly incorporated into batters for cakes, cookies, and breads. For savory applications, it can be blended into soups or stews to add a creamy texture and subtle sweetness. It is also a popular addition to pancake and waffle batters. Remember to stir it well before using, as separation can occur.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pumpkin pie filling, this product contains only pure pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling usually includes sugar, spices, and other flavorings already mixed in. This allows for greater control over the sweetness and spice profile of your final dish. It is a blank canvas for your culinary creativity.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused pumpkin puree to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate this container and use the puree within 5 to 7 days. It can also be frozen in portions for longer storage. Ensure it is properly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
