Why dehydrate canned pumpkin? Because I can, that's why :) And i need the space. All those cans fit into a single mason jar of dehydrated canned pumpkin - and it becomes more versatile! Yay for saving space.

Amazing to see the powder rehydrate and solidify again! I would have guessed that the consistency wouldn't have been close, but, it looked like it was straight out of the can again! Thank you for showing all the steps! 😊

I recommend using a frosting knife to spread the pumpkin puree. It will give a smooth, even layer -- much better than a spatula.

Such a great video. Thank you for also showing its consistency upon re-hydration and how that was done. Lol, I was skeptical, but it looked very similar to how it was in the can. I love anything pumpkin as well, so this was very helpful. Thank you.

I'm sure someone suggested doing this to your coffee grinder. You mentioned having a crack in it. Using clear fingernail polish, paint over your crack with it. Inside and on the outside. Making sure that the lid is clean. You don't need a thick layer. It may not last long, but it will help. Good luck..

Has anyone came up with a spice mix to add to say coffee to clone Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice for coffee? Thanks. Your videos are great info.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

The problem is their spice mix is a liquid form in a syrup. With dehydrated products, you'd have solids that don't dissolve in your coffee,. So if you found a way to add pumpkin spice mix into your coffee grounds, you could do that, and it would impart the flavor into your coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker, but i do have three in the house - I'll work on that :D

I have a vacuum sealer for bags I can't afford to get the one that seals jars..can I use those along with the oxygen absorbers?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 года назад

You don't need to because the vacuum sealer does the vacuuming for you. If you're talking about mylar bags, then yes, that's how you do them - add the O2 quickly, close, heat seal.

Hi Darcy could you do a video on making pumpkin cupcakes? My husband wants to see it.

@ThePurposefulPantry 5 лет назад

I'm not sure I can get to one anytime soon, but if you make a basic cupcake or muffin recipe, and want to make it more like pumpkin bread, add a little powder to replace a little flour, add a little pumpkin pie spice and bake as normal! If you're doing a regular pumpkin muffin recipe, you can reconstitute the pumpkin powder to be enough for a can of pumpkin the recipe calls for.

@gailreese4699 5 лет назад

@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you so much .That will do the trick.

@barneyboyle6933 2 года назад

Is there a point at which you MUST remove the food items from the dehydrator or would there be minimal difference between 15 hours and 50 hours at the same temp?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 года назад

A bigger electric bill for no reason. And with fruit leathers and jerky - you will ruin them. But leaving most things in a few hours more doesn't bother them - the dryer the better for storage.

@patharrington8575 3 года назад

I'm happy I found this video. I too have several cans of pumpkin. Different brands. I have a Nesco dehydrator. Would i use the fruit leather trays to dehydrate the pumpkin? And how long would I leave it in the machine? Thank you!

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

Yes, absolutely - and until they are done. Just like I mentioned, it could take 9 hours, it could take 18. Dry until the leather is fully dry. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/dehydrate-canned-pumpkin/

@patharrington8575 3 года назад

Sorry I should have asked before. Do I need to spray the leather tray? And can I store pumpkin from different batches together? Thank you.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

No need to spray (shouldn't for storage anyway), and yes, as long as they are just a few months apart and fully dry.

@patharrington8575 3 года назад

Thank you again!

@lauradjordjevic1894 5 лет назад

Have you ever thinned a little so that the pumpkin dehydrates evenly? Saw a video years ago and now I cannot find it.

@ThePurposefulPantry 5 лет назад

You mean thin the pumpkin with water to dehydrate the water back out of it? No, but you can spread it more thinly than I do to help if you prefer that.

@Kayenne54 2 года назад

don't know if you'll see this, but is the storage jar sterilized or sanitized for storing the pumpkin powder?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 года назад

Sterilized? No. Washed in hot soapy water? Yes. It's all that is needed.

Hello Darcy. I am new to your sight but I see you dehydrate your pumpkin. I canned a lot of pumpkin last year because I could not see everyone throw it away. Can I dehydrate it and do you think I should add some pumpkin spice before I do it.?

@ThePurposefulPantry 5 лет назад

You can. And I wouldn't add spice beforehand unless you plan on only eating it as pumpkin pie leather. Just dehydrate it as is..making it a mash. Flavor it when you actually use it. You may not always want to use it in a pie, etc.

Hello. I live in Scotland and I have never heard of anyone here dehydrating or canning for storage. I can understand if you have a glut of produce doing it to store your food. I dont understand the benefits of dehydrating something that is already in a tin which you then need to rehydrate. Can you please explain why it is worth the work? Thank you.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

Just as I said in the video - it's a space saving thing for me because I use so much of it throughout the year, it's not always available, and because I can't dry enough fresh pumpkin in the short season we have it available. I do the same thing with tomato paste, too. I don't have a large garden, so stock and store as I can. You don't have to do it if it's not something that fits into what you need.

@kimmcvitty3580 3 года назад

Thank you. It is all new to me and I am trying to work out how to start. Canning equipment is very expensive here because it is not a mainstream activity.

Sure - it's going to settle, so it might not be quite that thick once dried - and you're basically making a pumpkin leather.

Just like I showed you in this video - You can do whole pumpkin or canned - save space, save the harvest so you can use it all year long.

@Kayenne54 2 года назад

Add to soups, stews, casseroles. The powdered pumpkin could be used to make pumpkin scones, I'd think? Or even add the powder to fresh boiled potatoes to add some pumpkin flavor and nutrients when you don't have fresh pumpkin...

@GZ-cc2rt 3 года назад

I know this is an older video but I'm hoping you can answer a question. After I make the powder do I just store it in a canning jar and leave it on the counter? How long will it stay fresh if doing it this way? I want to use it for cookies but it won't be used everyday maybe once a week or once every couple of weeks. Can I store in a bag in the freezer or keep it in the jar in the refrigerator for it to stay fresh longer?

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

I can answer with a post I wrote with all the answers. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-store-dehydrated-foods/ Yes, just store it in an airtight jar - about 6-12 mos.
