Delicious Toasted Pecan Pumpkin Butter in a jar

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove from the oven and let them cool.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt). Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add the toasted pecans to the pumpkin mixture and gently fold them in. You want to distribute the pecans evenly throughout the butter.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Stir continuously, allowing the pumpkin butter to thicken slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the butter cool before transferring it to a jar or airtight container.
  6. Refrigerate for up to two weeks – if it lasts that long!

Now that you’ve mastered this scrumptious Toasted Pecan Pumpkin Butter, you can enjoy it slathered on toast, drizzled over yogurt, or even straight from the jar. Celebrate the flavors of fall by making this delightful recipe a regular part of your autumn routine!
