things people ask

• Is canned pumpkin puree the same as canned pumpkin pie filling?
  No, and the swap will wreck a recipe. Pure pumpkin puree is just cooked, strained squash with no sweetener or spice. Pie filling is pre-sweetened and pre-spiced, so substituting it cup-for-cup adds roughly 200 g of sugar plus cinnamon, ginger, and clove. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of puree (227 g), check the label for 'pumpkin' alone, not 'pumpkin pie mix.'
• How many cups are in a 15 oz can of pumpkin?
  About 1.75 cups, or 425 g. Most pumpkin bread recipes use 1 cup (227 g) and pumpkin pie recipes use 1.5 to 2 cups, which is why one can is the de facto unit. If a recipe asks for 2 cups (454 g), you need a second can — don't try to stretch one with water, since the solids ratio drives the texture.
• Can I use roasted fresh pumpkin in place of canned?
  Yes, by weight. One cup of canned puree is 227 g, so weigh your roasted-and-blended pumpkin to match. Fresh puree usually carries more water than canned, so drain it in a fine sieve or cheesecloth for 30 minutes — otherwise a pumpkin bread batter with 227 g of wet fresh puree bakes gummier than the same recipe with canned.
