Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. In the slow cooker, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Slow Cook Pumpkin Butter. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, stirring every hour or so to prevent sticking. The mixture will reduce and thicken as it cooks.
- Blend Smooth. Once the pumpkin mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency, use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker or transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until very smooth.
- Cool and Store. Allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely before transferring it to airtight jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best flavor.
- Adjust sugar to taste based on sweetness preference.
- Stirring occasionally during slow cooking prevents burning on the edges.
- Can be used as a spread, in baking, or stirred into yogurt and oatmeal.
