Does anyone have a good recipe to make Pumpkin Butter?
A very good friend of mine got me hooked on putting it on top of cottage cheese,yum!!
The store bought is good but I would like to try to make it myself.

Here is the crock pot recipe, and I do not process them in a boiling bath. They last for 2 months in the fridge.
Pumpkin-Apple Butter
2 cans (15 oz. ea) canned pumpkin
2 cups peeled, cored, and shredded Granny Smith apples (see note)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients in a 4-quart slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 5 hours, stirring every 2 hours. Store in covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Yeild: about 5 1/2 cups

DELICIOUS! So easy to make also.

Susan is right that canning pumpkin butter is not recommended because it is too viscous for the temperature in the center of the jar to get to a high enough temperature to kill botulism spores. Pumpkin butter needs refrigerated after you make it - not canned.

I make my pumpkin butter in a crockpot.
2 cups of cooked, pureed pumpkin
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon * I double all the spices
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
Combine all ingredients in crockpot and mix well. Cook on high for 3 hours and stir once in a while. It will thicken as it cooks so don't let it burn.
I have doubled and tripled this recipe with great results.
Also, the "canning experts" at the USDA/FDA (?) no longer recommend canning pumpkin butter because they say there is a chance that it won't get hot enough in the middle of the jar because it is so dense. I have canned this recipe for years and process pints for 40 minutes in a water bath canner. |
