Canned pumpkin now comes in 15 ounces cans, instead of 16. Will the one ounce make a difference?

  |  

Q.  Bernice Asks: Canned pumpkin now comes in 15 ounces cans, instead of 16 ounce cans.  Will the one ounce make a difference to the recipe?  Should I substitute it with something else, like applesauce?

A.  You’ll be fine with the 15-ounce can of pumpkin. No need to buy a large or second can. Happy baking!
