Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pure pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, no added sugar or spices)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, place the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together until smooth and evenly mixed, ensuring no lumps of sugar remain.
  2. Cook Low and Slow: Set the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture slowly, stirring frequently. This gentle simmer allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken. Expect to cook for about 25 to 30 minutes to achieve a buttery consistency.
  3. Monitor Thickness: Keep stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking or burning. The pumpkin butter should become thick and spreadable as it cooks, resembling a silky jam by the end.
  4. Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let the pumpkin butter cool completely before transferring it to clean jars or airtight containers. Refrigerate to preserve freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree only; avoid pumpkin pie filling to prevent unwanted spices and sugars.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by starting with less sugar and adding more after cooking if desired.
  • Stir often during cooking to prevent burning and encourage a smooth consistency.
  • Cook at low heat to allow flavors to meld without scorching the butter.
  • Let the pumpkin butter cool completely before sealing jars for optimal storage.
