How to Measure Pumpkin Puree in Cups

Purees should be leveled with a spatula. Chopped produce should be packed only if the recipe specifically calls for it.

Puree consistency varies by brand and preparation method, so a homemade puree may measure differently by weight than a canned one even at the same cup volume.

If a recipe calls for pumpkin puree by weight instead of volume, a digital kitchen scale set to grams removes any measuring-technique variation entirely — the converter at the top of this page shows both figures side by side so you can check your result either way.
