Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Apple cider
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and apple cider. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Mix in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Microwave the mixture on high for 5 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir. This will help cook down the mixture and blend the flavors.
Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot!) and stir in the vanilla extract.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mixture thickens and reaches a butter-like consistency.
Allow the pumpkin butter to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.
Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks. Enjoy on toast, baked goods, or as a topping for oatmeal.
