Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, add all ingredients and stir to combine.
  2. When the pumpkin butter mixture starts to simmer, place a lid on the saucepan. Make sure the lid is cracked and not shut all the way so steam can escape.
  3. Turn the heat to low, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When thickened to your desired consistency, it is done!

Notes

  • Yield: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups. I estimate a serving at about 2 Tablespoons for nutrition purposes.
  • Store: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to two weeks.
  • Freeze: Freeze pumpkin butter in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • Reheat: Let the frozen pumpkin butter thaw in the fridge overnight, then stir it before use.
  • Make Ahead: Pumpkin butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer, making it perfect for holiday planning.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice Substitute Measurements: If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, I recommend adding 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice.
