Within a month I will be offering Strawberry Jam too!

Did you know that almost all canned pumpkin puree is made with butternut squash? I'm excited to pick up 20lbs of butternut squash next week with my Azure Standard order!

"Butternut Squash in Canned Pumpkin
Based on the provided search results, butternut squash is used for canned pumpkin puree due to its desirable taste and texture. Libby’s, a prominent canned pumpkin brand, uses butternut squash specifically because it has a better flavor and texture than other pumpkins. This is mentioned in multiple search results, including “What’s Really In Canned Pumpkin?” and “Canned Pumpkin is Actually Just Squash”.

Additionally, butternut squash is a type of winter squash that is closely related to pumpkins, belonging to the same genus (Cucurbita). This proximity in botanical classification allows butternut squash to be used as a substitute for pumpkin in canned puree products. Many search results, such as “Pumpkin Puree Substitute” and “How to Make Pumpkin Purée at Home”, mention that butternut squash can be used as a replacement for pumpkin in recipes.

It’s also worth noting that Dickinson pumpkins, which are used by Libby’s to make their canned pumpkin puree, are actually a type of butternut squash. This is mentioned in search results like “Canned Pumpkin Isn’t Actually Pumpkin?” and “What’s Actually in Your Canned Pumpkin Purée?”. The similarity in taste and texture between Dickinson pumpkins and butternut squash makes butternut squash a suitable choice for canned pumpkin puree.

Overall, the use of butternut squash for canned pumpkin puree is due to its superior taste and texture, as well as its botanical relationship to pumpkins, making it a suitable substitute in many recipes."
