FAQs about pumpkin
Can I use homemade pumpkin puree?
Yes, but remember that homemade puree can vary in consistency. Fresh pumpkin puree is typically more watery than canned. For the best results (especially when baking), strain or pat the puree dry with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
What can I use instead of pumpkin?
Roasted and pureed sweet potatoes or winter squash (like butternut squash, acorn squash, etc.) will work as a substitute. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different.
How long does pumpkin puree last in the fridge?
Leftover pumpkin puree from the open can will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Transfer it to an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Can I freeze pumpkin puree?
Yes! Dump the leftover pumpkin puree into a zip-top bag and freeze it for up to 3 months. Or, for easy portioning, freeze the puree in ice cube trays or a muffin tin, then transfer the solid cubes to the zip-top bag. Before serving, thaw the puree in the fridge overnight or drop frozen cubes directly into recipes like soups or warm sauces.
