Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugars have completely dissolved.
Step 3
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
As the mixture thickens, continue to stir frequently to ensure it cooks evenly and does not burn.
Step 6
Once thick and spreadable, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled pumpkin butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
