*Making your own pumpkin puree is easy. First, cook your pumpkin by roasting or boiling. Then you simply mash and smoosh until your pumpkin is pureed. Easy! Of course, some people prefer the convenience of pumpkin puree in a can. That’s fine as well!**If you don’t have evaporated milk, you can substitute by making your own. Add 1 cup of dried milk with water to make 1-1/4 cups of evaporated milk.
