Pumpkin Butter

Pumpkin Butter is a smooth, spiced spread made from pumpkin puree combined with maple syrup, coconut sugar, and warm spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Prepared either in the microwave or on the stovetop, it develops a rich, concentrated flavor ideal for spreading over toast or incorporating into recipes. The spread maintains a thick but spreadable consistency and can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.

  • Coconut sugar can be swapped with brown sugar or regular granulated sugar if needed.
  • To achieve a creamier texture, replace water with unsweetened almond or other plant-based milk.
