How to Store a Pumpkin
Recipe
In the right conditions, your pumpkins will keep for two or three months.
Store them in a cool, dry location. Space them so that the air can circulate
around them. Ideal temperatures are 50-55 degrees.
Once you cut into a pumpkin, it should be refrigerated. Chunks can be kept
in your crisper where the atmosphere is moist or in perforated plastic bags
for a week or more.
For longer storage, cook your pumpkin, puree it, and freeze the puree.
Properly frozen, your puree will keep in the freezer for six months.
Raw pumpkin can also be frozen. Clean and peel the pumpkin. Cut the flesh
into one-inch cubes. Place the cubes in freezer-type bags and freeze.
Measure out what you need for your favorite recipes. Use within two months.
