Recipes using less than a can of pumpkin

For people who are concerned about wasting food, pumpkin recipes using less than a can of pumpkin call for recipes which use the remaining amount of pumpkin.  A 15 oz. can of pumpkin contains about 1 3/4 cups. A 29 oz. can contains about 3 1/2 cups. Following are some recipes which use less than these amounts. Of course, you could also use home-grown, cooked and pureed winter squash (such as butternut or a variety of pumpkin bred for culinary use rather than display):

3/4 cup pumpkin.

Pumpkin Rice Pudding: No wheat, no eggs.

Pumpkin Bread Pudding 8-inch pan. A little less sugar, more fat than the extravagant pumpkin bread pudding that everybody loves.  You could leave out the butter and use a 12-oz. can of evaporated milk in place of cream.
