October 26, 2020October 26, 2020 Laura Yautz 0 Comments High Fiber, High Iron, High Vitamin A, High Vitamin K, Low Fat, Low Sodium

Did you know that it’s incredibly easy to make pumpkin puree that’s all ready for pies, pudding, and the like, from a fresh pumpkin? Homemade pumpkin puree will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for about 6 months or more. Once you make your own, you’ll never go back to canned (and not just because you can’t find it anywhere!).
