This pumpkin butter is a cozy addition to so many fall recipes. It combines honey, brown sugar, and autumnal spices to form a delicious fall-flavored spread.
¼cuplight brown sugar (less for a more savory butter)
½tspground cinnamon
¼tspground nutmeg
Instructions
Cook: In a saucepan placed over medium heat, stir together the pumpkin puree, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a 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.
15 oz pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp honey, ¼ cup light brown sugar (less for a more savory butter), ½ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Strain: Once thickened slightly, remove from the heat and pass it through a food mill (or conical strainer used in canning) to remove any lumps. This step is optional, but it gives a smoother butter. Let cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
