Pumpkin Butter

Pumpkin butter is one of the simplest fall recipes you can make. Plus it’s delicious! Even though there is “butter” in the name there is in fact no butter in pumpkin butter. But, like butter, you can spread it pretty much on anything you would spread butter on. To make this delicious treat pumpkin purée is slow cooked with brown sugar and a mixture of warm spices making it a delicious taste of fall.

Ways to use pumpkin butter:

• Spread it on toast, biscuits, scones, pancakes, waffles or crepes.
• Use as a filling for cinnamon rolls or hand pies.
• Add to oatmeal for a fun fall, breakfast treat.

Ingredients you will need for pumpkin butter:

• 1 – 29oz can plain pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp salt

Directions:

(You can also make this in a small pot on the stove on very low heat if you don’t have a mini crockpot.)

• 1.) In a mini crockpot (or larger crockpot if doubling the recipe) add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir until combined.
• 2.) Cook on low for 8 hours making sure to stir the pumpkin butter every 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• 3.) Once the pumpkin butter is finished it will be darker in color and have cooked down slightly. Spoon into any size jar you would like. Let cool until room temp then put on the lids.
• 4.) Keep in the fridge for up to a month. Enjoy!

Notes:

• If you don’t have a mini crockpot you can make this in a small pot on the stove on a very low heat.
• Don’t forget to stir the pumpkin butter every 30 minutes to an hour to make sure it’s not burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
