If you can’t get enough of pumpkin desserts this fall, you’ve probably found yourself dealing with leftover pumpkin puree more than once. Instead of throwing it away, here’s how you can save it for later and use it in some delicious foods and beverages.
Drinks and Spreads
Pumpkin puree can be used as the main ingredient in many popular drinks—including pumpkin spice latte, milkshakes, and smoothies. You can also use it as a spread in your pancakes or add it to your oatmeal each morning.
If you’re in the mood to fire up your oven, find a recipe that utilizes pumpkin puree. There are many tasty options out there, especially if you enjoy baking cookies, bread, or muffins.
You can store leftover pumpkin puree in your refrigerator for up to a week. Freezing is also an option if you’re not going to be able to use it within that time. You can seal it up in an airtight container or a bag, or store it an ice cube tray or muffin tin.
