When the recipe calls for 14 oz. of pumpkin would that be 1 and 3/4 cup of fresh pumpkin puree? Or do I need to weigh the puree to equal 14 oz in weight? I am confused because I cooked my pumpkins following your directions and I want to make sure I use the right amounts. Also, some of the recipes say to use 1 can of pumkin or 2/3 a can or whatever....how do I know how much fresh pumpkin puree to use?

Thanks so much for all your recipes...can't wait to try them now that I have my pumpkin puree.....and seeds!!
