Frozen pumpkin puree keeps for up to 12 months without losing flavor or texture. That’s a full year of pumpkin spice emergencies. I once found a bag from 2019 and it was still fine—though the texture was slightly sad, like a deflated balloon.
Don’t push it past 18 months. At that point, it’s not dangerous, but it tastes like a vague memory of pumpkin. Sort of like eating a vegetable ghost. Not recommended for your holiday pies.
Fun fact: The world’s largest pumpkin pie weighed 3,699 pounds. If you froze that, you’d need a forklift and a very understanding spouse. So maybe stick to ice cube trays, okay?
