to carve a pumpkin
As sweater weather rolls in, it's time to embrace fall with all things pumpkin. From pumpkin oatmeal and lattes to gnocchi and soup, seasonal delights are popping up on menus everywhere. If you're looking to cook these recipes at home, our pumpkin puree is your go-to ingredient. Cooked in the microwave using Anyday cookware, this fresh pumpkin puree surpasses its canned counterpart in sweetness and flavor intensity. Let's face it, that can could have been packed last season!
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
