Pumpkin Butter

INGREDIENTS

  • 29 oz can of pumpkin puree

  •  3/4 cup apple juice

  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar

  • 1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice (1 Tbsp should be enough. If your pumpkin pie spice is from last year’s pumpkin pie you may want to do 1 1/2 Tbsp).

  • 1 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine ingredients in a large sauce pan.

  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer (low-medium).

  3. Stir frequently for 30 minutes, until mixture has reduced and thickens.

  4. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Pumpkin butter is delicious mixed with softened cream cheese and toasted pecans for a sweet fall dip. Serve with graham crackers or cinnamon pita chips.
