Where do you buy canned pumpkin?

 

[52daffodil]

"Can of pumpkin"? Do you mean pumpkin soup? And what's "heavy whipping cream"? This is obviously an American recipe! It also says "cornstarch", which we call cornflour.

Canned pumpkin is available in Australia, but it's very expensive.

Looks good Jarred-soup is a bowl of nutrition with warmth and nurturing! thanku.

In Canada canned pumpkin goes for a little more than soup. $11 or $22 as they want here is ludicrous. I use the dry one , I think it's the JAP, it's greyish in colour and they are quite large and more difficult to cut than others. I cook it slowly over a long period to remove as much moisture as possible similar to making tomato paste.
