yes - the recipe calls for freezing. Canning jars are good for this purpose also. They also make a nice presentation when made as a gift.
12/20/2011 12:20:27 PM Report AbuseYou should NEVER can pumpkin at home - that is why they have you freeze this!! Even a pressure cooker doesn't get the pumpkin hot enough, let alone a water bath. You should also never can anything by "hot packing" like was suggested in a previous comment, I know that's how people used to do it, but it has been proven not safe!

10/18/2011 04:40:41 AM Report AbuseIf you put it in the cans hot and leave some space on top before sealing, it will self-vacuum seal as it cools. You will hear the lids indent as it cools. That's when you know it has sealed properly. No need for water bath!
