Canned Pumpkin

I remember a couple of years ago there were signs in the baking aisle that there was a pumpkin shortage so there would be a limited supply of pumpkin that year.  What did I do? What any reasonable person would do-I started filling my cart with canned pumpkin.  I remember it being pretty ridiculous.  Like 10 cans.   But canned pumpkin isn’t just for pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie.

Here’s some of my favorite pumpkin recipes:

Pumpkin Goulash

Pumpkin Cider

Pumpkin Pinwheels

Pumpkin Stuffed Shells

Pumpkin Soup
