Tips on canning fresh pumpkin specifically for pies? I'm thinking about preserving some fresh pumpkin to use in pies later on, but I've never canned anything before. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for properly canning pumpkin? I'd love to hear your advice before I give it a try!

Hello everyone! I think canning pumpkin for pies is such a great idea! One tip is to make sure you’re using sugar pie pumpkins, though you’ll want to avoid the big jack-o'-lantern types for the best flavor!
