No CANNED Pumpkin from the Store THIS Fall!! Homemade Pumpkin Puree AND Pumpkin Pie Casserole!

We put our pumpkins into a crockpot and let them go all night. Then hit them with a stick blender. When you strain out the pumpkin water you lose a lot of sugar. In the croc, the water evaporates out and concentrates the sugar.

Hi Sarah and Kevin. I used to can pumpkin in quart jars. I have roadted it in the oven just as you did, and I have steamed it. Both worked well. There is nothing like home grown pumpkin. Thank you so much for sharing all the information on your farm. God bless you and your family

Hi Sarah, here is a helpful hint on cooking your pumpkin: You did great, but if you will use a deeper pan, make a stainless steel wire rack to fit inside the deeper pan, just place your pumpkin upside down on the wire rack as you did pour a glass of water in the bottom of the pan and bake as usual. This will allow all of the liquid to drip out and your pumpkin won't be as wet but also it won't be really dry. However; the liquid is usable should you need some liquid for your puree. We live to learn. Jessie from Arkansas

Small tip: When you use a strainer, slip a wooden spoon handle through the small loop to hold it in place over your bowl. 🙂❤ Thank you for your wonderful videos!

Yum! My 18 year old grandson has been on Keto a few weeks and has lost 18 pounds. Just yesterday he was telling me how much he loves sweet potato casserole for the holidays. So I want to try this for him. Thank you!

Thank you for your great instructions to process pumpkins; you have a wonderful knack for teaching. Have a terrific harvest season!

In 2022 I grew Seminole Squash/Pumpkins and have had them in storage. I've had a couple of them go soft so I've been baking them and then running the pulp through my Freeze Dryer. I have multiple jars of the powder in my pantry waiting for Thanksgiving. Great video!

Crustless pumpkin pie! Keto friendly! Love it!

Your pumpkin casserole is almost exactly how I make my sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving. Everything is the same except for mashed cooked sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin. Also a tip for people who maybe can't get pecans as easily-- walnuts or almonds work just a well for the topping.

I often make my own spice blends! My family loves Allspice, so I add it to what we call the Magic Sprinkles! It is essentially like your Pumpkin Pie Spice with about 1/2 as much Allspice as Cinnamon. Magic Sprinkles go into Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, Oatmeal, quick breads, muffins, and even waffles! Yummers!

I love that you are exploring a grain-free/sugar-free lifestyle! We changed our eating habits in 2017 and for years I've watched your cooking videos, mourning that I would not be making your recipes, but lately, I can! I'd love to hear your take on sugar-free canning, I've got a load of blueberries in the freezer I'd love to jam, but with no "tested recipes" I think I'll be doing a little of the "your kitchen, your rules" canning. Thank you for your many years of content, you never disappoint!! 💗💗

I was just diagnosed with T2D and put on insulin and Mounjaro. I wasn't told how to cook for diabetes let alone how to use the meds they prescribed me. Your Keto recipes have been invaluable to me. I do a lot of keto and have cut sugar, flour, rice, potato, and all whites from our diet. More recipes, please!! :)

Great video Sarah! This canning season I have made salsa, cowboy candied hot peppers, antipasto, froze beans, 😊cauliflower , leeks, broccoli all for soups. I’m also beginning to can broth. Just beets, potato’s, onions, hot peppers and assorted tomatoes left to harvest. I keep a canning diary showing costs per jar just to see how things change from year to year including likes and dislikes. I started this diary in 1979. Great resource to look back on. Be well..😊

Great storage idea is to roast them, then freeze dry the pulp, then powder the dried pulp. Works great to rehydrate to puree for all your baking needs! One of my favorite freeze dried items.

I love baking and freezing pumpkin puree for later use. I made "pumpkin" pie last year using butternut squash instead of pumpkin and it was so good. Worth a try. And no water to have to drain out.

Oh the way Kevin was looking so intently at that pumpkin dish had me cracking up!!!😂.. He's lookin like quit talking wife let's eat!!! Almost a torture waiting for the yummies haha! 😂😂 Thanks for sharing the fun❤

Happy first day of fall! 🤍🤍🤍🥰

I used a long Island cheese for my first foray into homemade pumpkin pies, and I LOOOOOVE it so much!! Such a delicious and rich pumpkin flavor! Will have to try this for sure!❤

Hi Sarah and Kevin. Well! I finally revolutionized The way I preserve our garden Vegetables. I bought myself a Harvest Right freeze dryer. You are the ones who convinced me it was time to buy one. I got my first 5 trays freeze drying right now. You've been good teachers for these freeze dryer. The only thing that really surprized me was how heavy that freeze dryer is. Jessie from Arkansas

Pickuped up one of these pumpkins while with the kids at a local pumpkin patch on Saturday. I made the recipe on Sunday, using non-keto ingredients, and it is delicious!!! Overall, it was a pretty easy process. Thanks for the inspiration!
