I made this pumpkin puree for the first time and it was so easy and delicious. Perfect for our Thanksgiving pies! My husband loved it too. Will definitely make again.
Amazing. I always made canned pumpkin until I tried this recipe. It was so easy to make and the flavor is unbelievably fresh. I used it in my Thanksgiving pie, and the family raved about it. I will never go back to store-bought again.
