Question 1

Can I cook more than two pumpkins at a time?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the size of your Crock-Pot. The lid of the Crock-Pot needs to seat properly to cook the pumpkins. If you can fit them in (or cut them down to make them fit), you sure can.

Question 2

Can I freeze the pumpkin puree?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in fact I'd recommend it. If you can't use your pumpkin puree within one week, pour it into an airtight container like a mason jar or even a ziplock bag and seal it up. It'll keep for about a year.

Question 3

Can I substitute fresh pumpkin puree for canned in any recipe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The only thing you need to know is that fresh pumpkin tends to be less visually appealing and is also not as sweet as canned pumpkin can be, so when you use it in things like soups and pies, they will be pale in color versus the dark, robust orange color of canned pumpkin made foods.
