What To Do With Leftover Pumpkin Puree?

With each of these pumpkin recipes, you won't use an entire can of pumpkin puree. No worries though, you can easily store the leftovers.

Once opened, a can of pumpkin will last 5-7 days in the fridge. It is best to transfer the leftover pumpkin to an airtight container and label it with the date the can was opened.
You can store pumpkin puree in the freezer too. My favorite way is to transfer the amount you will use most into a zip topped bag, date the bag, and freeze.
You can also use ice cube trays to freeze canned pumpkin puree. Measure out 1 tablespoon of pumpkin to go into each ice cube compartment and freeze. Once frozen, remove the pumpkin cubes and transfer them into a zip-topped bag. Add one to a smoothie or thaw and use it in recipes.
Pumpkin will keep well in the freezer for 3 months.
