How to Make and Preserve Pumpkin Puree
This is the time of year when those beautiful gourds are ubiquitous: they’re on front porches, in giant crates at the grocery store, and brightly adorning roadside farm stands. Everything is pumpkin flavored too, but I have to admit that I find that rather less refreshing.

It’s all good and well if you love the taste of nutmeg and cloves, but real pumpkin deserves some attention too.
