Pumpkin Butter Recipe
Makes 2 Cups
"Sugar" or "pie" pumpkins will yield the best texture for this recipe. |
|
Steps: |
 |
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pumpkin in a roasting pan, and cover tightly with foil. Bake until pumpkin is very tender, about 45 minutes. Transfer pumpkin pieces to the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth. |
|
Place pureed pumpkin into a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until very thick, about 25 minutes. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice; cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cool and serve, or store in the refrigerator up to 1 week. |
|
Serve with bread, crostini, sliced baguettes, bagels, muffins or crackers and enjoy! |
