Preserving pumpkins

[Nyeer]

What's the best way to preserve cooked pumpkin. Thanks for any replies.

Freeze it.

 

[Nyeer]

Is freezing my only option?

 

[Andy M.]

You could also can it but that is a more complex process.

Tell me how you would do it, I never mind "embracing the mundane."

Just in case people don't click on the USDA link, I wanted to mention that actually, you should NOT can pureed or mashed pumpkin, but there are guidelines for canning CUBED pumpkin (which can then be pureed or mashed later when you open the jar).

The USDA link has all of this info and is a great resource for canning pumpkin and other squash safely.
