    Did you have a bumper crop of pumpkins this year? I know of at least one homesteader who has more pumpkins than she knows what to do with. That got me thinking. How many canned pumpkin recipes can I find to use up leftover canned pumpkin puree?

    Now, while I’m all for growing your own food as much as possible, sometimes we need shortcuts. And buying canned pumpkin puree does help stock up a prepper pantry if you aren't ready to learn to make pumpkin puree from scratch.

    Maybe you’re looking for ways to use up the leftovers. Or you could have a partial can of pumpkin puree to use up. 

    Whether you’re getting started with canning or you buy canned pumpkin on sale after Thanksgiving (or Christmas), these pumpkin recipes will help you use up the leftover puree if you don’t need a full can. (Or a full mason jar.)

    August, 2023 Update: When I first published this post a couple of years ago, it included 21 canned pumpkin puree recipes. However, since then, I've added a few more favorite canned pumpkin desserts. And I'll be adding a few more this year as well!
