I kept myself busy today I made pickled beets and I tried a new recipe called Sweet Pumpkin Butter.Everyone in this house adored anything pumpkin so I thought I would give it a try. Here is the recipeSweet Pumpkin Butter
1 (15 0z) can of 100% pure pumpkin (dont use the pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup apple cider (I used apple juice)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves( I barely used 1/8th because I am not fond of it)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a large saucepan
Bring mixture to a full boil( this wont happen because it tends to plop in the saucepan )
So you must stir and stir...
Reduce heat and continue cooking 10-15 min until thick ,it says stir fequently I stired almost continuously
Remove from heat and let cool then pour into clean jars and refrigerate for up to 2 months in fridge.
It sounds good smells wonderful I will let you know tomorrow when we have it on our morning toast!
You know its fall when you get a craving for something with pumpkin it it!

Oh... I want Fall to be here now!

Diane, It will be fabulous! Like Brenda, I'd only had apple butter, but a few years ago, I got some pumpkin butter a lady sold at the Oklahoma State Fair, and it was to die for! Put it on hot bisquits, and that's all I wanted to eat!
Oh my but that looks yummy. I could think of a million uses for it. Like you, I would also cut down on the cloves as they are a little strong for me. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Diane...this looks so good! Perfect for toast and I'd like to try it on an English Muffin....yum. Thank you for sharing the recipe...hugs, Lina

Oh boy, that sounds good! I may even have to cook up a batch of that. And you never hear me say that!

Oh, my, sounds delicious and easy to make, too! I miss when we used to have a garden. I throw my hopes to next year.
I'm sorry..... I got a little drool on the comment box. I will be sure to wipe it off before I leave. My that looks so very yummy.
chichi oui..oh I love it(:)
Your pumpkin butter looks delish
I always wondered how to make it...thanks dear..Hugs,Patty
Oh that sounds fantastic I am printing out the recipe so I can make some. Thank you!!
I copied this recipe so I can try it.
I want to mention that I make several types of fruit butters but cook them in the oven in a flat pan. This way I am not tied to the stove stirring the whole time and it never burns. I just stir it occassionally until it's thick enough to jar.
OOO, I am making this just as soon as I get the ingredients together...
I smiled when I saw your future tree...I have a post coming up soon about something almost like this!
This sounds delicious!! And, as you said, I can imagine how great it is to have the aroma wafting through the house. Thank you!
I just found your blog and your pumpkin butter sounds yummy! I think I'm going to make some and see how it is. Have a great day!
