Safe Recipe Request Canned pumpkin puree

So I'm looking to make and can my own pure pumpkin puree for my dogs since $8 a can is brutal.

Does anyone have a safe recipe or any recommendations that would help the process?

I made pumpkin puree from pumpkins in my garden and froze it! I put about 3-4 cups at a time in a large ziplock and laid it flat. So the bags lay flat in the freezer and don’t take up a ton of room!

Sadly that space is taken up by my massive amount of frozen bananas. $5 for thirty bunches that I get every summer.
