Fresh always sounds like the better idea, right? Scratch chocolate chip cookies made from scratch will always be more appealing than the Pillsbury slice and bake. But when it comes to pumpkin, so many of us just reach for the can, even though there are piles and piles of sugar pumpkins just waiting to be roasted this time of year. (Because, yes, you can make any pumpkin dessert from a fresh pumpkin.)
