Pumpkin season is officially here! To celebrate, I’ve compiled ALL of my pumpkin recipes into one place. Y’all…I can’t believe I have THIS many pumpkin recipes! But what can I say, fall is my favorite season!
Pumpkin Ingredients Explained:
Before you get cooking or baking, it’s a good idea to know the difference between common pumpkin items that you may see in the ingredients list.
- Pumpkin Pie Filling – Pumpkin pie filling is a mixture of cooked, mashed winter squash that is blended with sweetener and spices. It may also contain thickeners, such as cornstarch or xanthan gum. Because it is pre-seasoned and ready to go, pumpkin pie filling is a convenient way to make a pumpkin pie when you’re short on time. There’s no measuring of sugar and spices and you don’t have to follow a recipe to make the filling…all you do is scoop into a pie crust and bake. However, it shouldn’t be used as a direct substitute for pumpkin puree in a recipe, as the sugar and spices may be overpowering when blended with the sweetener and spices that a recipe also calls for.
- Pumpkin Purée – Canned pumpkin puree is a cooked and mashed mixture of winter squash that is unsweetened and does not contain any added spices. Pumpkin puree may also be labeled “100% pure pumpkin” or “solid-pack pumpkin.” It is NOT the same thing as canned pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
- Homemade Pumpkin Puree – You can also make your own pumpkin puree by cutting a pumpkin in half, removing the seeds and strings, and roasting it in the oven until soft. Then, scoop the flesh out of the skin and into in a blender or food processor where you can blend until smooth. While homemade pumpkin puree is absolutely delicious, canned pumpkin puree is a wonderful substitute and time saver!
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – A blend of aromatic baking spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and sometimes cloves. Pumpkin pie spice is an easy way to impart the flavors of the season into everything from pies to lattes. You can also make your own pumpkin spice blend with our easy recipe below:
