Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Simmer the pumpkin butter for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The mixture will thicken as it cooks.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity, if needed.
Allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. Serve on bread, muffins, pancakes, or even use as a filling for desserts.
