Ingredients
- 30 oz LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin puree (See Note 1)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup apple juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground clove
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or deep sided skillet combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple and lemon juices and spices (See Note 2).
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes. This will sputter and reduce to a thick spread.
- Allow to cool, season to taste if needed. Perfect for using in baking recipes, spread on toast and muffins. Store in an airtight container refrigerated, for up to 1 month. This makes 4 cups total.
Slow Cooker
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
Notes
- It's not safe to can pumpkin butter, because it's not acidic and it's so thick the heat can't get through enough to ensure safety. For a more detailed description of the canning process, read this tutorial:

- I use two 15 ounce cans of LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin
- I use a large Dutch oven or deep sided skillet instead of a saucepan because this will sputter as it simmers and helps to contain any splatter drops as it cooks.
