A standard-size can of pumpkin is 15 ounces, about 1 3/4 cups, but not every recipe I make with pumpkin uses the entire contents of a can. I can freeze whatever is left, but eventually, I need to use it up. These nine recipes ensure that none of that leftover purée goes to waste, while also introducing me (and you) to new ways of adding more pumpkin to my life in the fall.
These recipes call for plain pumpkin purée, not canned pumpkin pie mix, so make sure you’re using the correct kind. And, if you make your own pumpkin purée, you can use that in any of these recipes, too.
