Pumpkin Butter


There is one flavor synonymous with the fall season, pumpkin. This time of year you find it in pies, cookies, soups, even candles! There is nothing more I like this time of year than to curl up with a book in front of a fire, with a cup of hot apple cider and a warm roll with this delicious Pumpkin Butter Spread. This year I am making some for holiday gifts. Make some yourself, experiment with decorative jars, and create a tasty gift basket full of the season’s tastes and smells!


Pumpkin Butter Spread

Ingredients:
29 ounces pure pumpkin
1 cup apple cider
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
12 whole cloves

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture come to a full boil, then turn the heat down to low. Let the mixture cook at a slow boil, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes, until spread has thickened. Let the spread cool until warm. Store in refrigerator. Makes enough to fill 6-7 6 ounce jars.

Contact me if you have any questions, or if you would like to make an order. Thanks!
