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.

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.)
