- Continue simmering until the mixture starts to thicken, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a blender; blend until smooth. Return mixture to pot and heat for 10 minutes on low until it reaches desired thickness. Remove, cool, and serve.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful pumpkins for the best butter. Look for pumpkins with a deep orange color and smooth, unblemished skin.

- Use a variety of spices to flavor the butter. Common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to the butter to brighten the flavor.
- Pumpkin butter can be used in many different ways. It can be spread on toast, crackers, or muffins. It can also be used as a pie filling or ice cream topping.
