I've done the same and... it's exactly the same, maybe a bit inferior to the store brought product (I don't have an industrial food processor to get it super smooth).

Growing your own pumpkin can be a kind if fun project (though protecting them from the animals is a challenge and a half). But as far as being worth the effort to roast and puree, nah, not really.

I asked at Safeway way why they didn’t have any, and she looked at me straight in the face and said “we’ve had enough with murdering pumpkins”.

You just had to post even though this isn’t the question at all. Also the only ingredient in canned pumpkin is…pumpkin.

Got some at Wegmans and giant last week. It’s in the baking aisle by the evaporated milk. I buy it year round.

Fresh and canned don't really go together.

Do you mean they typically have it or you have seen it with your own eyes in the past week?

I just put it in my cart and watched my order get fulfilled. I'll pick it up on my way home.

Libbys, nothing out of the ordinary.
