Ingredients
- 1 pie pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut the pumpkin in half, stem to base. Scrape out the seeds and pulp. Reserve the seeds to make baked seeds, if desired.
- Place the halves on a rimmed baking sheet, meat side up (cut a small slice out on the bottom of each to allow them to sit evenly without rolling). Cover each with aluminum foil. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the pumpkin meat is fork tender.
- Scrape the pumpkin pulp from the shell halves and puree it in a blender or food processor. Remove any remaining stringy pieces or seeds. If it is super thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
- Place the pumpkin puree (about 3 1/2 cups), sugar, apple juice, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice in a heavy bottom sauce pan. Heat it over medium-low until lightly simmering.
- Stir well and reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir and simmer for 40-60 minutes. This greatly depends on the water content of the pumpkin puree, so watch carefully to make sure it doesn't get too thick or scald. Canned pumpkin will need less time than fresh pumpkin puree.
- Mixture will have some texture, so place it in a food processor to make it smooth, if desired. It should be thick and spreadable, but not too watery.
