I am mostly a scratch cook so anything I can make from scratch, I usually do. This way, you know exactly what you are eating. BUT, if you have absolutely no time, then go for the canned stuff ☹️. I puree this when I'm ready to use it but you can certainly puree ahead. It stored well in the refrigerator for a week. I'm sure it will freeze well.
As many pumpkins as you think you'll need (those 2 made about 5 cups)
A good knife
A cookie sheet
Foil or parchment paper
Your oven
