Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugars have completely dissolved.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
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.
As the mixture thickens, continue to stir frequently to ensure it cooks evenly and does not burn.
Once thick and spreadable, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely.
Transfer the cooled pumpkin butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
