Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (or whatever amount you have!)
Instructions
Freezer Bag Method:
- Place 1 cup of pumpkin puree (or desired quantity) in a freezer-safe bag. Flatten the bag to evenly distribute the puree, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Label the bag with the date and freeze. The flat shape allows for quicker freezing and easier storage.
Muffin Tin Method:
- Spoon pumpkin puree into a muffin tin, filling each cup with an equal amount. Freeze until solid, then pop out the frozen puree ‘muffins’ and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date. This method is perfect for portion control and ease of use.
To Use:
- Thaw in the fridge overnight for best results. For quicker thawing, use a microwave with a defrost setting, heating in short intervals and stirring in between to ensure even thawing. Avoid overheating to maintain the texture and flavor.
