Best Canned Pumpkin Overall<\/h2>\r\n

Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin<\/h3>\r\nIn this taste test, our Test Kitchen pros found that the biggest name in the pumpkin game does, in fact, make the best canned pumpkin on the market.\u00a0Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin<\/strong><\/a> is a favorite among our culinary crew.\r\n\r\nLibby's canned pumpkin has a really rich orange color that is quintessential fall. This deep shade is perfect for giving recipes like this copycat Starbucks pumpkin bread<\/a>, gluten-free pumpkin bread<\/a> and spiced pumpkin bars<\/a> their appetizing appearance.\r\n\r\nAs for the taste, Shannon Norris<\/a> in the Test Kitchen explains that \"this brand has more depth of flavor than the others.\" A scoop of Libby's canned pumpkin has \"great pumpkin flavor: earthy with a tiny bit of sweetness,\" according to the Test Kitchen's Josh Rink<\/a>.\r\n\r\nYou'll also find that Libby's pumpkin<\/a> is exceptionally smooth.

Best Budget Pumpkin<\/h2>\r\n

Great Value 100% Pure Pumpkin<\/h3>\r\nIf you have a lot of pumpkin bakes<\/a> lined up this fall, you can save some money by opting for a generic canned pumpkin option.\u00a0Walmart's\u00a0Great Value 100% Pure Pumpkin<\/strong><\/a> hits all the marks but costs significantly less than brand name options.\r\n\r\nThis can of pumpkin isn't as vibrantly hued as others in this test, but it has a winning texture. \"This one is nicely pureed with a creamy consistency,\" says Ellie Crowley<\/a> in the Test Kitchen. That velvety texture is perfect for recipes like this pumpkin cheesecake<\/a> and homemade pumpkin ice cream<\/a>.\r\n\r\nBeyond smooth consistency, this canned pumpkin smells fresh and tastes of pure pumpkin without any extras. It does have a slightly milder flavor than our other top pumpkin picks, but when paired with pumpkin spice<\/a> and topped with whipped cream<\/a>, this brand will make an amazing pumpkin pie<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FGreat-Value-100-Pure-Pumpkin-15-oz%2F24538777\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
