How To Store and Freeze Leftover Pumpkin Puree
To store: Fresh or canned pumpkin puree can last up to one week in the refrigerator if stored properly. So, be sure to remove the leftover pumpkin puree and spoon it into an air-tight container with a lid.
To freeze: Fresh or canned pumpkin puree can last up to 3 months in the freezer. To store it properly in the freezer, you would need to spoon the leftover puree into an air-tight, freezer-friendly bag or container. Be sure to remove any air from the container as it will ensure the freshness of the puree. Remember, the less air the better. When you are ready to use, simply thaw it at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
