Description
Pumpkin Butter is a deliciously smooth and spiced fall condiment made from pumpkin puree, maple syrup, apple cider, and warm spices. Perfect for spreading on toast, waffles, biscuits, or even swirling into oatmeal and yogurt.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree (1 can)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/3 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, preferably maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, apple cider, granulated sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and ground cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the mixture thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the pumpkin butter cool completely.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a richer fall flavor.
- For a super smooth consistency, blend the cooled pumpkin butter in a food processor or use an immersion blender.
- Delicious on toast, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or even as a filling for pastries.
- Let cool completely before storing to prevent condensation.
