I have heard of people pressure canning it. I'm not sure of the details. You might look it up online.

Are you using fresh pumping or previously commericially canned pumpkin? If using comercially canned pumpkin I would for sure, can it. I would probably try the pressure canning if you have one, as it's already "mushy" so not one of those things you need to worry about the texture on.

I baked my own, homegrown, pie pumpkins and made puree. I then cooked it in the crockpot with sugar and spice.
I decided to sterilize my jars, and heat my lids. I then filled the jars hot, and screwed on the lids. They actually popped later, without canning them. I let them cool, and moved them to the refrigerator where they will last for about up to 6 months (according to my research I did).
I read that canning pumpkin, requires a pressure canner, and that is for cubed pumpkin only.
I will make more puree and freeze it for future baking. I can't wait to plant more next year. I love the taste of homegrown pumpkins.

| I have water bath canned homemade pumpkin butter for years. The recommendation to not home can it has just been in the last few years. |
