This is a "more traditional" pumpkin butter recipe, since it is cooked. Its very yummy as a spread, or used as the pumpkin layer in "pumpkin cheese pie". In a fancy canning jar, it makes a tasty gift. (Cook time includes 10 minute water bath.) You can use Libby's "Solid Pack" canned pumpkin, or your own homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe.

Any publications preceding the Complete Guide to Home Canning (September 1994 revision) are considered out of date. (FYI posted on May 21, 2008)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds peeled, seeded, and diced sugar pie pumpkin (substitute canned if needed)
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • In a stainless steel pot, combine pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, and salt; bring to a simmer. (If using fresh pumpkin, stir until it's tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.)
  • 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.
  • Roast the pumpkin before making the butter. Roasting concentrates the pumpkin's flavor and makes it sweeter.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin butter is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin and is also a perfect gift for friends and family.
