You could try old fashioned canning.
Otherwise, as Onyx said, roast or steam to make mash, then freeze. Roast pumpkin makes the best soup.
Pumpkin whoopie pies:
Pies:
275g plain flour
1/2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1 1/2tsp ground cinnamon
1/4tsp salt
200g light brown soft sugar (i use whatever i have)
125ml sunflower oil
1large egg beaten
1tsp vanilla extract
115g pumpkin puree
Filling:
200g full fat soft cheese (i use cream cheese or marscapone)
85g unsalted butter, softened
2tbsp maple syrup
1tsp grnd cinnamon
85g icing sugar, sifted
Bake:
Preheat oven to 180. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with baking paper.
Sift together plain flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon & salt.
Place oil & sugar in a large bowl & beat for 1 minute with electric whisk. Whisk in egg & vanilla then pumpkin puree. Stir in the sifted flour mixture & beat until thoroughly incorporated.
Pipe or spoon 24 mounds of the mixture onto trays, spaced well apart to allow for spreading. (i never get this many. I get about 6 per tray, but i make them big. When it says they spread, they really do spread. Using an ice cream scoop can help)
Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until risen & just firm to touch. Cool for 5 min then transfer to a cooling rack & leave to cool completely.
Filling:
Beat soft cheese & butter together until well blended. Beat in maple syrup, cinnamon & icing sugar until smoith.
To assemble, spread or pipe filling over flat side of half the cakes. Top with the rest of the cakes.

I've made these using left over apple puree instead of pumpkin. Very yummy
