All Of The Things You Can Make With A Can Of Pumpkin

As soon as the first, color-turned leaf hits the ground this fall, you will notice cans of pumpkin puree populating the grocery store shelves. The physical cans are hardly impressive; they don't compare when matched up against the gorgeous gourds their contents are made from.

But these cans deserve a lot of love. Yes, you can make your own pumpkin puree from scratch, but dumping out soft pumpkin from a can is much more convenient than gutting an entire gourd. Plus, the canned version tastes just as good. The ingredient itself is incredibly versatile: It adds density and creaminess (think custard or pudding) to recipes, but its flavor does not overpower.



When on the canned pumpkin hunt, be sure to select the "100% Pure" pumpkin -- not the "Pumpkin Pie Mix." There's a difference (namely, sugar). This pumpkin puree boasts some impressive nutritional stats: Just a serving of Libby's bright orange mush contains 40 calories, half a gram of fat, 4 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fiber. It's also packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, potassium and vitamin A.



Thanks to canned pumpkin, the delicious, sweet recipes below don't require complicated fixings. You probably have many of the supplementary ingredients -- like sugar, cinnamon and flour -- stocked in your pantry already. The next time you visit the grocery store, fill you cart to the brim with these glorious cans (check the baking aisle) and get cooking.
