How To Store Leftover Pumpkin Puree
Don’t fret about leftover pumpkin puree! Each of our single serving pumpkin recipes is designed to maximize flavor while minimizing waste. If you find yourself with extra puree, you’ve got a variety of storage options to extend its shelf life.
- Refrigerator Storage: After opening a can of pumpkin puree, transfer any unused portion to an airtight container. Make sure to label the container with the date it was opened. Stored like this, your pumpkin puree will stay fresh in the fridge for 5-7 days.
- Freezer-Friendly Zip Bags: For longer-term storage, portion your pumpkin puree into zip-top bags. Don’t forget to date the bag before freezing. This method makes it convenient to thaw exactly the amount you need for future recipes.
- Ice Cube Tray Method: Another freezer-friendly technique is to use ice cube trays. Measure out 1 tablespoon portions of pumpkin puree into each compartment and freeze. Once frozen, pop out these pumpkin ‘cubes’ and store them in a zip-top bag. They make a handy addition to smoothies or can be thawed for use in recipes.
Your pumpkin puree will maintain its quality in the freezer for up to 3 months, making it a versatile ingredient you can enjoy long after autumn has passed.
