Diced and frozen pumpkin is not only more easily saved, but it tastes better and is better for you. Pumpkin is so low acid a vegetable that you lose tons of nutrition by canning.

2 cups diced pumpkin
2 cups stewed tomatoes
-2 cups milk
-2 extra large eggs

Grate some old cheddar cheese and cover the above. Amount varies by your taste. Me. I lean on the 2 cups, again.
Dot with butter, (I use unsalted butter)
This is a bit shy for a 2 quart casserole dish, so I sometimes up the amounts of each major ingredient. Bake 45 minutes to an hour at medium oven, ie. 325 to 350'F.
At this time of the year, after each serving, I put out in the porch on top of the freezer. It can also be refrigerated.
