Another favorite, this one might even be better than the crockpot apple butter I made at the beginning of the season. One thing is for sure though.. they both make your house smell AMAZING.. and nothing beats the warm sweet smell of pumpkin butter cooking on a chilly Sunday spending the day inside. I adjusted this recipe so that you can make as much or as little as you want.. I always make as much as I possibly can and make mini-jars of it to share with others because it's just so delicious! Super easy and low maintenance.. this recipe literally cooks itself!
Ingredients
(Double, quadruple, this recipe as much as you want.... I multiplied it by 8 to fill up the crockpot and get enough butta to share and last us for quiet a while. Multiply all ingredients with the correct ratio together, make sure all ingredients are increased by the same amount):
1 cup of pureed pumpkin
1 cup of brown sugar (other organic sugar can be used in place of brown sugar as long as some of the sugar used is brown sugar! I used some regular organic once I ran out of brown)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
dash of pumpkin pie spice (or more if you love it!)
dash of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
Throw everything together in a crockpot. Set on low and leave for 6-8 hours, mixing occasionally, or set on high and leave for 4-5 hours mixing occasionally. Remember to smell the air often while cooking this, it will smell delicious. After time is up, turn off crockpot and allow to cool. Store in jars and refrigerate. Makes an excellent spread on toast, bagels or sandwiches and is a good add in for oatmeal. Enjoy!
