Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams Pumpkin puree
- 100 grams Pecans
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.
Once cooled, pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process them into pecan butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
Cook the pumpkin mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the ground pecans, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the Pumpkin Pecan Butter to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve as a spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or use it as a delicious topping for desserts.
