What is pumpkin butter?

Pumpkin butter is a thick spread that’s made from canned pumpkin puree and fall spices. It’s a fall favorite that’s full of autumn flavors.

This delicious pumpkin butter has a consistency that’s similar to other fruit butters like apple butter.

How to make pumpkin butter

Step 1: In a large saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, apple cider, sugar, pumpkin spice, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt.

Step 2: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring regularly.

Step 3: Once it reaches a boil, reduce to low heat and cover the saucepan.

Step 4: Stir regularly to keep the pumpkin butter from sticking or burning, and continue to cook until thickened. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Step 5: Remove from heat, and let it cool completely.

Step 6: Once cool, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
