About Pumpkin Puree (Canned)
Stir the purée, spoon it into the cup and remove large air pockets before levelling the surface. A can's net weight is the amount of food, not a cup volume; use that weight when a recipe requests the entire can.
Homemade purée can be wetter than canned purée. Follow the recipe's draining instructions before measuring, and do not assume that adding more flour will preserve the original texture.
Tips for measuring Pumpkin Puree (Canned)
- Check that the label says plain pumpkin rather than pie mix.
- Measure after draining if the recipe specifies drained purée.
Common mistakes
- Confusing a can's weight in ounces with fluid ounces.
