Nicole M Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Would you use this pumpkin puree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyFL Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 NO!!! 5 years beyond is just too much for me! Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 No. My non-researched thought would be to trust the product for up to six months beyond the "best by" date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Okay, Becky, that was darned emphatic. So I will scoop it into the compost. (It's okay for the worms, though, right?! ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginszoo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I'm sure the worms will love it and turn it into wonderful plant food. I have a child younger than that puree (born 2/05) who's reading and writing, etc. I'm usually pretty liberal with expiration dates, but that would be a bit much. (The only reason *I* don't have cans that old is that we moved last year and I got rid of them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used canned butternut squash puree for our muffins and have donated the pumpkin to the worms. Just last week I used up the last of our frozen pumpkin puree from last year's garden, so I was desperate. I guess it's time to clean out the pantry, eh?

LizzyBee Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 As long as it hasn't been opened and the can is not rusted, I wouldn't even blink at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I think even the worms may find it a bit old. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jenny Flint Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 But, for a very specific purpose. Bake it into a bread and present it to the lady in the green raincoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
