Simmered to perfection, it achieves a luscious, spoon-coating texture that bursts with cozy autumnal flavors. Whether slathered on toast, swirled into oatmeal, or dolloped over pancakes and desserts, this homemade pumpkin butter is as versatile as it is delightful.

In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar over medium heat.
Stir in the apple cider until the mixture is evenly incorporated.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the saucepan, stirring well to mix the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until thickened. The pumpkin butter should coat the back of a spoon, and its volume should reduce slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust spices or sweetness as desired.
Let the pumpkin butter cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight jar or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve spread on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or as a topping for desserts.
