What Can You Do With Pumpkin?

A pumpkin roll with a sweet cream cheese filling is one of the recipes I look forward to make any time of the year!

Pair this pumpkin roll recipe with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate with a splash of pumpkin spice syrup. You’ll then have yourself the start of a pumpkin mash! So, what else can you do with pumpkins?

Store Bought or Homemade?

You can buy pumpkin in a can or when pumpkins are in season you can make your own pumpkin puree.

I highly encourage making your own pumpkin puree. Not only is it super easy to make but also it’s all natural and tastes even better than canned puree. Try my simple recipe on How to Make Pumpkin Puree From Scratch!

For example, when making homemade pumpkin puree place 1 cup of puree in freezer bags. By doing so, when a recipe calls for pumpkin just remove a bag or two from the freezer, thaw, and there you have fresh homemade pumpkin puree!
