Pumpkin Puree

I decided I wanted to do as much "from scratch" cooking for the holidays, so I grabbed a few pie pumpkins to make filling now, while it's fresh. I wanted to can them, but it looks like I may have to freeze it. Oh well...as long as it lasts until Christmas! I found this site quite informative about the process...This other article was also quite informative about why it's not recommended to can pumpkin and squash...unless you have a pressure canner...which I do not.

I've been thinking of doing this too. The Pioneer Woman has a great walk-through on preparing pumpkin.
