Pumpkin Butter Recipe
Description
This Pumpkin Butter Recipe transforms canned pumpkin purée by cooking it with apple cider, a combination of brown sugar and maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt. The mixture is brought to a boil then simmered gently to thicken, allowing the sugars and spices to meld with the pumpkin for a concentrated taste and spreadable texture.
The final product is cooled and stored in an airtight container, providing a concentrated, spiced spread that pairs well with breads, muffins, or even oatmeal. The lemon juice adds brightness while the pumpkin pie spice offers warm, familiar spices typical of autumn desserts.
Notes emphasize using pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, and suggest either light or dark brown sugar as suitable. The recipe yields about two cups, with a typical serving of two tablespoons. Nutrition values are approximate.

- 15 ounce pumpkin puree canned
- 1/3 cup apple cider
- 2/3 cup brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh

- Pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, apple cider, sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring regularly.

- Once cool, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for correct texture and flavor.
- Both light and dark brown sugar work; choose based on your preferred sweetness and depth.
- This recipe makes approximately 2 cups; a serving size is about 2 tablespoons.
- Store the cooled pumpkin butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Homemade or store-bought pumpkin pie spice can be used.
