How a 15 oz can of pumpkin puree works out
The 15 oz on the label is net weight, not volume, so the gram figure is exact: 15 × 28.35 = 425 g. That is why the UK tin of the same product is sold as 425 g. The cup figure is the one that depends on the pumpkin, and canned puree is dense, so the can holds a little under 1¾ cups rather than the 1⅞ cups that 15 fluid ounces would be.
The large 29 oz can is 822 g, about 3⅓ cups: enough for two pies. Homemade puree from a roasted pumpkin is usually wetter than canned. Drain it in a sieve for 30 minutes before you measure it, or the pie will not set.
Making a pie with it? The Classic Pumpkin Pie uses one 15 oz can of pumpkin and one 12 oz can of evaporated milk, with every ingredient given in cups and grams.
Tip: Buy '100% pumpkin', not 'pumpkin pie filling', which already contains sugar and spices. A 15 oz can is about 1¾ cups.
