50 Ways to Use Up Leftover Pumpkin Puree

Does this happen to you – you open up a can of pumpkin, bake something with it, and then end up with a little leftover? Every time I bake with pumpkin, I seem to have a little bit left. Sometimes it’s a few tablespoons from a 15-oz. can, sometimes it’s much more from one of those huge cans or when I roast my own pumpkin.
