Is there going to be a rush on canned pumpkin this year?

Nestle -- which sells nearly all the canned pumpkin in the U.S. -- says poor weather hurt its harvest, creating a potential shortage of its Libby's pumpkin pie products through the holidays.

The company said heavy rains made it nearly impossible to pick its pumpkins during this year's harvest. The longer the pumpkins sit in the muddy fields, the more they deteriorate. As a result, the company announced this week that it would not pack any more pumpkins for the season -- which means it may be hard to find its canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling product until next year's harvest

    I read that article also. There are still other manufactures besides Nestle, but overall it was a bad season for pumpkins.

    Just bought a can of pumpkin yesterday, Shop Rite had plenty for now so better stock up if you see it in the stores.

    I sure hope I can find the stuff. It's not Thanksgiving without my chocolate chip pumpkin bread or the gingerbread pumpkin trifle. Guess I better run to the store and get some before there's none left.

    I won't worry. I usually keep a supply of the canned pumpkin (not the pumpkin pie filling which is already spiced) on hand. I mix it w/ Hoppy's and Dino's food. They love pumpkin.

    Just go to a farmers market and get a real pumpkin.
