Expert Tips

For extra flavour, toast the pecans! To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
You can freeze leftover pumpkin in an airtight container for your favourite recipes. Just thaw and stir before adding.
