Many recipes during the Holiday season call for Pumpkin Puree, and we are going to make sure you have this recipe under your belt.
Pumpkin puree can be used for various sweet & savory dishes throughout the colder months. Pies, breads & cakes, as well as soups, casseroles, stews & other side dishes.
Now, you can go with store bought pie filling when you’re making your Holiday pumpkin pie, but this is one place you will be happy you didn’t cheat, if you make your own pumpkin puree yourself.
