Ingredients

  • 15 oz can pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

Prepare

  • Gather all ingredients and a deep-sided saucepan.

Combine

  • Heat saucepan over MED heat. To the saucepan, add all ingredients, and stir well to combine.

Simmer

  • Once bubbling, reduce heat to LOW and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to help prevent spattering, for 25-35 minutes, or until thickened to a spreadable consistency and darker in color.

Cool

  • Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  1. This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of pumpkin butter, which I've estimated should be about 8 (1/4 cup each) servings. Feel free to divide this recipe up into as many servings as you'd like.
