  1. Approximately how many cups is a half a pumpkin. Seems like this will vary depending on size of pumpkin. Thank you.

    1. Very true. This recipe is flexible, so whatever you have. But I'd use about 6 cups of cubed pumpkin or about 2 pounds.

  2. This sounds very good, since I don't have fresh pumpkin can I use canned pureed pumpkins instead? And when would I add this? Thank you =

  3. When you say 1/2 a pumpkin, what size is that in cups of cut up chunks, or how big is the whole pumpkin in pounds?

    1. I was going off of a medium sized pumpkin, about 6-7 pounds. But account for the rind, about 2 to 2.5 pounds of pumpkin chunks.
