HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PUREE (Stop Using Canned Pumpkin!)

JOIN US because with Thanksgiving right around the corner, today we’re showing you how easy it is to kick the canned pumpkin to the curb and make your own fresh pumpkin purée at home. And we’re not using just any pumpkin — we’re roasting the legendary Cushaw, a historic variety prized by Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and generations of Southern cooks for its flavor, texture, and incredible versatility.

Whether you’re making pies, breads, muffins, smoothies, mixing it with Greek yogurt, or stocking the freezer for holiday baking — this homemade pumpkin purée is richer, healthier, and way more flavorful than anything from a can.
In this video, we’ll walk you through roasting the cushaw, scooping it, blending it, and turning it into a silky-smooth purée that’s truly fit for a president. 🇺🇸

If you’ve never made your own purée before… you’re going to be shocked by how simple it really is — and why cushaw deserves a permanent place in your Thanksgiving kitchen!
