The Ball Bluebook recommends that pumpkin cannot be canned in a puree form. It can be pressure canned in cubes though. I think this would be safer frozen rather than attempt canning. You could also check out the National Center for Food Preservation (U.S.)
can this be canned like jams and jellies?
I’m not 100% certain, but I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to!
Thank you for the pumpkin butter recipe. Looks easy to make and I have all the spices already. I cut up, cook and puree my Halloween pumpkins every year to make muffins and breads. This pumpkin butter would go well with both.
