Ingredients

  • 15 oz pumpkin purée
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (less for a more savory butter)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  • Bring to simmer, making sure to keep watch and continue stirring. Let simmer over low to medium heat for 12-20 minutes. The butter will start to sputter and bubble as the pumpkin thickens and the moisture cooks out.
  • Once thickened slightly, push through food mill (affiliate link) (or conical strainer (affiliate link) used in canning) to remove any lumps. This step is optional but gives a smoother butter.
  • Let cool and store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
