    canned pumpkin

    Hi, I was looking for canned pumpkin when I went grocery shopping. All I could find was the kind that’s used in a pumpkin pie. Is there a certain brand I should be looking for? Would a health store be a better place to look then a larger grocery store?

    Thanks

    I use "Libby". At my stores its right with alltheo ther ones that already have the spices etc in them for baking. It took me awhile to find it as well, ended up crouched on the floor looking at EVERY can LOL. Give it another looksie.

      look in the pie filling area for cans of pumpkin. the ingredients will just say pumpkin and maybe soime salt. the other stuff says pie mix on it. all our local stores carry libbies and their own brand.

              I like it with butter, a package of stevia or splenda and cinnamon. I will heat it in the microwave until the butter is melted.

              I agree it is also good with cream cheese.

                I eat it like a veggie----heat it up add salt, pepper, butter or cream. It tastes alot like mashed sweet potatoes. Absolutely yummy with roast turkey, pork or chicken.

                    Check out Sugarfreesheila.com she has a pumpkin pie cheesecake called "Kick bottom pumpkin cheesecake" (Induction friendly) ..I made it last night and had it for breakfast. Very yummy and it was a nice change from the usual egg breakfast fare.

                      I love fresh cooked pumpkin with butter. Pie pumkins are starting to show up in the store and I can't wait to bake one. I also love sugar free pumpkin pie minus the crust. Those usually get made from the scrapings from our jack-o-lanturns.
