Pumpkin Butter: The Taste of Fall


Me and my aunt made this yummy treat. It makes quite a bit, so we canned the rest and gave them to our neighbors as a fun treat!

Ingredients

Serving Size: 1 Tbs
Calories: 39 Calories per serving

1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently. Transfer to sterile containers and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

It tastes like pumpkin pie! It is so good, I love to eat it with toast. In fact, I had a peanut butter and pumpkin butter sandwich for lunch today...super awesome!
