Ingredients

• 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup apple juice or cider
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.125 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.125 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and apple juice or cider. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the spices into the pumpkin mixture.

Step 4

Continue to cook the pumpkin butter over medium-low heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The mixture will thicken as it cooks.

Step 5

Once the pumpkin butter has reached your desired consistency (spreadable but not runny), remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 7

Serve on toast, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or use as an ingredient in baked goods!
