Helpful Tips
Variations: For a twist, try adding a dash of ground ginger or allspice. You can also sweeten the puree with maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different flavor profile.
Storage Instructions: Store any leftover Spiced Pumpkin Puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions: If fresh pumpkin is unavailable, canned pumpkin works perfectly. Ensure it’s pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
