To ring in fall and all the pumpkin goodness, I’ve pulled together my favorite easy, healthy pumpkin recipes, using canned pumpkin.
Can I Use Fresh Cooked Pumpkin in Place of Canned?
If you want to substitute fresh, cooked pumpkin for canned in any recipe, simply substitute using a 1:1 ration.
So 1 cup cooked fresh pureed pumpkin equals 1 cup canned, as long as you first drain any excess water or moisture from the cooked pureed pumpkin.
To substitute for a typical 15-oz can of pumpkin, use approximately 1¾ cup fresh cooked and pureed pumpkin.
What Should I Do With Leftover Canned Pumpkin?
If you have leftover canned pumpkin, use it in another pumpkin recipe (so many options, below!), or freeze the leftovers.
To freeze leftover canned pumpkin, remove it from the can, and store, tightly sealed in the freezer for 3-6 months. Here’s my favorite method for freezing.
