Homemade Pumpkin Butter
This homemade pumpkin butter is rich, spicy, and smooth, making it a fantastic addition to your fall breakfasts. Let’s jump right into the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and apple cider. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Add in the spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Stir the mixture until all of the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the pumpkin butter to simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. You want it to thicken and develop a rich flavor.
- After it has simmered down, add in the lemon juice and stir. This will add a lovely brightness to your pumpkin butter.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Once cool, transfer it to clean jars and store in the refrigerator. It can last for up to 2 weeks, or you can freeze it for longer storage.
Enjoy your homemade pumpkin butter on everything from baked goods to savory meals. It’s a delicious way to celebrate the flavors of fall!
