    Freeze it. Cube it. Don’t risk botulism for something you can buy safely canned for less than ONE DOLLAR. 🙄 And please if you DO do this, do not feed it to your baby. 75% of all botulism cases reported in the US are babies. The Pies, muffins, breads, and custards you would use this for only reach in the high 100 degrees mark, not the 212 for ten minutes needed to kill bacteria.

    USDA canning book has in BOLD type: “Caution: Do not mash or purée. Fill hot jars with cubes…” Also, at Elevation 0-2,000’, pressure can at 10 lbs of pressure. Pints- 55 minutes, Quarts - 90 minutes. Elev. 2001-4000’: 12 lbs pressure; Elev. 4001-6000’: 13 lbs pressure; Elev 6001-8000’: 14 lbs pressure. I believe they tested and found it NOT SAFE to can puréed squash/pumpkin. In the years before the USDA was formed, many people DIED from home canned food. Sorry! You’ve made a very nice video, and I’m glad you acknowledged that you weren’t following the USDA guidelines.

    USDA has NOT tested to can pureed pumpkin so they do not recommend canning it in pureed form. That does Not emean that its not safe to can it. USDA is a guideline, but not the only way to can..... for example, the Amish only waterbath their canned goods, including pumpkin puree and they are a very healthy community doing this for centuries.... It is an informed decision that people need to make and do their research (past the USDA). I have never canned pureed pumpkin yet, but might just give this a try. Seen so many videos and posts by people that have been doing this for decades and still alive and well, so do not fear what the USDA says... its precaution, but not Danger if canned properly like shown in this video :)

    I don't add any sugar. Just pure pumpkin. Also, the spores are not the problem, it's the bacteria they can cause. If you're baking the pumpkin or cooking it before consumption, that bacteria should be killed.

  • @lindas.8036

    The USDA does not recommend home canning of pumpkin puree because puree is so thick it may not get to the correct temp(min 240 degrees) in the middle of the jar for a long enough time period to kill the spores that cause botulism; then it grows very well. NOT because it hasn't been tested. It has been tested and found to be not safe for home canners. Yes, you CAN can anything, but that doesn't mean it is always safe and you should do it! Good luck. And water bathing NEVER gets above 212 degrees. You do the math. Freeze it, freeze dry it, can chunks which are not as dense as puree.

    The difference is that pumpkin is a low acid food and applesauce is a high acid food. Botulism grows in a low acid, no oxygen environment. Just for your information. I pressure canned pints of puréed pumpkin last year (with all the sugar and spices in it) for 65 minutes to be safe. I can use one jar to make one pumpkin pie by adding two eggs and evaporated milk.

    @@leewillis2908 Yes, we all have to use the methods that we are comfortable with. I had cooked the pumpkin twice before it went into the jars, so I was pretty confident there were no botulism spores going into the jars(no spores, no botulism toxin growing). Also, there was enough sugar in the mix to inhibit any botulism that may have gotten in. And I also then canned pints for 65 minutes at 13-15 lbs of pressure, which is above the recommended pressure for my elevation. The time for the canning I got from a canning book from the 1970s, not that long ago to me. So, I felt very safe doing it the way I did, but I understand most people are only comfortable using USDA approved methods. I think it helps to understand the science behind food preservation.
