Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Use medium heat to gently start warming the mixture.
  2. Simmer and Stir: Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Continue simmering until thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. Adjust Consistency and Taste: Check the texture and taste, adjusting spices or sweetness if needed. If the butter is too thick, add a touch of water to loosen it.
  4. Cool and Store: Once thick and fragrant, remove from heat and let cool completely. Transfer to a clean jar or container for storage.

Notes

  • Use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sugars and spices.
  • Simmer gently on low heat for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning, especially toward the end of cooking.
  • Adjust spices gradually to your preference, tasting as you go.
  • Use sterilized jars or containers for storing to maintain freshness longer.
