Recipe: Homemade Pumpkin Butter

Homemade Pumpkin Butter...

Ingredients:

    1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
    3/4 cup apple juice
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 tsp fresh lemon juice



Directions:

1. Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil, covered with lid ajar (I prop it with a wooden spoon). Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, covered with lid ajar, for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful as the mixture bubbles and pops!

2. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before removing lid. Adjust spices to taste. Stir in lemon juice. Once cool, pumpkin butter can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Makes enough to fill one large mason jar or about 3.5 cups.
