I have always canned pumpkin butter but misplaced my recipe. When I was looking on line, it was advised to never can pumpkin butter due to the low acidity. And the few canning recipes I did find said to put them inthe water bath from 10 minutes up to two hours. I have always canned the butter for 20 minutes, and never with any problems. Any advice or suggestions?
Thank you, Carol

You are right! Pumpkin butter can be frozen or refrigerated but not canned in a water bath. I'm glad you have been lucky so far with having no problems but it isn't safe. You can preserve cubed pumpkin (but not in a water bath).
