Pumpkins are synonymous with celebrating fall and the holiday season. They belong to the squash family and are loaded with good nutrition. Having canned pumpkin chunks on your pantry shelf offers a variety of uses in recipes from pies to muffins to soups and more. Home-canned fresh pumpkin is superior in flavor to any canned pumpkin on grocery store shelves. Try it! You will like it!

completely agree with you on the jar cooling discussion.. What people have done it seems is take the concept of not putting them on a cold surface like your counter and then ran with it. as you explained with the water illustration, it's the coldness of the counter that causes them to break, not the cold air. Great discussion..

This year I grew several pie pumpkins for the first time in my life. Next year I will try to grow more pumpkins to can them. Ever since I made my first pumpkin pie from scratch... from roasted or steamed fresh pumpkin, to freshly ground ingredients (ginger, nutmeg, cloves), to my favorite pie crust recipe... I have never gone back to a store bought pie. Fresh makes all the difference! I do use Half N Half instead of canned milk, just like the texture and flavor better. I just bought some cardamom... never used it in my pie, but just might try that! (P.S. Love how you school people on the science... really.)

Thank you for such informative and helpful videos! You inspired me to try canning (instead of freezing) a few things this year that friends had given me from what they had grown (peaches, pears and I made jam and jelly from the scraps). I also ended up canning my peaches in 4 blue regular mouth jars because I had used all my other jars for the pears and jams, and that is all the store had. I think the jars look great and I'm glad you used them as well, a jar is a jar! I'm still having trouble finding regular mouth lids in my area however...but I can wait until next year. =) Thank you for all of your help Pam and Jim!

It was a sweet pickle type recipe with lots of literally pumpkin pie spices, nutmeg ginger allspice cinnamon and The pumpkin pieces were crispy tangy little bites that went great with a small piece of manchego cheese or even Asiago. I would love to find her but it’s been 2 yrs and I’m still craving that taste. I have searched far and wide for a recipe and have yet to find one that is remotely similar. Any ideas?!? What do you recommend for the best variety of pumpkin, if I’m growing my own to later can? Do you teach online classes, because right love watching you on KZfaq university!!

That sounds delicious! I have no clue how to locate her. You could do a search on similar recipes to see what you could find. In terms of growing pumpkin, you can grow pie pumpkins, which are sweeter. They are small, but yummy. I don't teach classes on these topics except on KZfaq! Thanks for your comments.

I think I am going to try my fish filleting knife to skin the pumpkin.

Sorry I asked this question in the wrong video. But I was wondering if you can can the pumpkin after it has been puréed? Why or why not? For example if the pumpkin has been steam cooked then puréed then cooked on low simmer for about 45 minutes. I live in south Mississippi with an altitude of 171 feet. Thank you and I love your videos. I too love science.

This is a great question because many beginning canners are also curious about why chunk it instead of just canning the puree. The USDA recommends agains canning the puree because it is so think and viscous that that core temperature inside the jar may not reach the killing temperature for botulism.

Couple questions ... New to pressure canning, and I want to start with pumpkin! (Why not, right?) How much water do you put in the pot? Do you keep it at high the entire time? How long to process if it's just pint jars? About how long does it take from start to finish (meaning, bringing the blanch pot to a boil all the way to the pressure goes back down to zero)? Wanting to know how long of a time I need to set aside to do this! Also, why vinegar the tops of the jars? I've never understood that step. Ok, many thanks :)

The best thing for you to do would be to read the USDA tested recipe for canning pumpkin and to read the instructions for your pressure canner so you will be sure to get every step right. I usually count on a full three hours for a batch of pressure canned food. You might want to allow extra time since this is your first time. nchfp.uga.edu/tips/fall/pumpkins.html

Thanks for the vid and your knowledge. How much is 1 can of evaporated milk? And is it evaporated milk with sugar?

@RoseRedHomestead 3 жыл бұрын

One can of evaporated milk is about $1.30 in our area. During the holidays you can generally find it on sale for under a dollar and that is when we buy a year's supply. Evaporated milk is not the same as sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand) that has extra sugar. Great question, thanks.

@@RoseRedHomestead Thanks for your answer. But I'm sorry I didn't mean the price, I meant in ml or cups or another measure unit.

RoseRed Homestead, is it safe to bake a pumpkin, purée it, cool it down and then freeze it safely without botulism being an issue? I can’t find a straight forward answer anywhere. 😊

I hate cutting pumpkins in half so I put them one at a time in a clean trash bag and drop them on the cement to crack in half. It is so much easier to handle.
