Spread the Fall Vibes with Maple Pumpkin Butter!🍁

Spread the love of fall on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or just dive in with a spoon. We’re giving you pumpkin to talk about with this Maple Pumpkin Butter recipe.

Maple Pumpkin Butter

Yield: about 2 cups

2 cups pumpkin puree canned or fresh (see Chef Tip)

¼ cup dark brown sugar

¼ cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, prefer Ceylon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

¾ cup apple cider

Combine all ingredients in a 4 quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to low heat. Cook for 20 to 30 min, stirring often until the pumpkin has become caramelized and dark brown with a thick and shiny consistency. Cool before adding to recipes. Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for at least two weeks.

Chef Tip: If using fresh pumpkin puree, start with 1/4 cup cider and add more to reach desired consistency. I recommend food handler’s gloves to protect your hands from splatters.

You may substitute the spices for 2 teaspoons of favorite Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Light brown sugar contains 3.5% molasses, and dark sugar has almost double at 6.5%. If your recipe calls for dark brown sugar but you only have light, add 1 tablespoon of molasses for every cup of sugar. If you only have granulated (white) sugar, add 1 tablespoon of molasses and granulated sugar to a mixer to create light brown sugar. For dark brown, add another 1 tablespoon of molasses.
