Description

This 6 Ingredient Spiced Pumpkin Butter is a luscious, spreadable treat made with pumpkin puree, apple cider, and warm spices. Perfect for autumn, it can be made stove-top or in a slow cooker and is naturally sweetened with real maple syrup. The pumpkin butter is thick, flavorful, and ideal for spreading on toast, mixing into yogurt, or using as a seasonal topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 ounce each) pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup, plus more if needed to sweeten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan (for stove-top) or slow cooker bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
  2. Cook the Pumpkin Butter: Stove-top method: Bring mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir often and cook for 20-30 minutes until the pumpkin mixture thickens and becomes spreadable. Slow cooker method: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. In the last 45 minutes, remove the lid to help thicken the mixture.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pumpkin butter and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
  4. Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let the pumpkin butter cool; it will thicken further as it cools. Transfer to glass jars and refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • This pumpkin butter gets thicker as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a bit runny while cooking.
  • You can customize sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup depending on your preference.
  • Storing in an airtight glass jar is best for freshness.
  • Use pumpkin pie spice or make your own blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
  • Great as a spread on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or as a dessert topping.
