Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams pumpkin puree
- 120 milliliters apple cider
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 60 milliliters maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the spices: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves, along with the salt.
Allow the mixture to cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes. The pumpkin butter should thicken and darken as it cooks. Be sure to stir often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture has reached your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the pumpkin butter cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and enjoy it as a spread, dip, or mix-in for various recipes!
