Homemade pumpkin butter is extremely easy to whip up on your stove. It is also extremely easy to put to good use. 🙂 Spread it on toast and waffles, or package it up for a gift from your kitchen. Some people even mix it with yogurt or cottage cheese for a nutritious snack.
You can simply adjust the seasonings to suit your tastes, whether you like it a little more bitter or a little more sweet. Just grab a 28-ounce can of pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling), mix with your favorite spices and boil/simmer until it's thickened. Easy as pie...such as pumpkin pie. 😉
Pumpkin Butter
Servings: 3 cups

- Juice from half a lemon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, except the lemon juice, in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to and simmer, stirring often, for 40 to 50 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough so that when you run your spoon through it will not close back up. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
