Good morning. I have several pie pumpkins in my garden and am wondering how you go about canning them. Anyone have any advice?? I don't know how you clean them and ready them for canning. Any information or recipes would be greatly appreciated....

You can 'can' cubes of pumpkin, but pureeing it or making pumpkin butter for canning is on the no-no list. It is too dense and becomes a safety issue.
