Notes

  • This pumpkin butter is great for more than just spreading on toast! Add a spoonful to your morning coffee for a pumpkin spice twist, or add some into yogurt for a fall parfait.
  • Pumpkin butter is freezer-friendly, perfect for storing long-term in the jar.
  • Try changing things up by using brown sugar or maple syrup in combination with the white sugar!
  • Make sure to give the pumpkin butter a stir every few minutes while it simmers, to keep the bottom from burning.
  • You can use home-made pumpkin puree too, but canned tastes just as good for a lot less effort.
