    Have you ever found yourself with half or a quarter of a can of pumpkin purée after baking? A 15-ounce can of pumpkin holds a little less than 2 cups. A 29-ounce can holds about 3 ½ cups. But many recipes only call for one cup or less!

    No need to waste it!

    If you find yourself wondering what to do with a little (or a lot) of leftover fresh or canned pumpkin purée, here's a list of healthy and delicious recipes to help you out! They're all gluten-free!

    Some of these ideas are easy, no-bake recipes. You could also,

    • stir it into your favourite chili recipe
    • add it to a smoothie
    • freeze it! Remember to add a label and the date so you can use it within a few months.

    How to store leftover pumpkin purée

    Remove the remaining pumpkin from the can with a spatula and transfer to a small jar with a lid or to another airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week.

    Yes, you can freeze pumpkin purée

    For longer storage, freeze it. Again, store it in a small airtight container, label it with the date and freeze for up to 3 months. I like to use ½ cup Mason jars so I can thaw it in the microwave when I want to bake with it again. You can also spoon it into a small resealable bag, flatten it, remove the air and freeze it. Small amounts can be frozen in ice cube trays.
