Guess what? Fall is very nearly here! While it isn't official, and it is still hot here in Florida, I couldn't resist diving into the pumpkin flavored goodness that is fall a little early this year. Truthfully, I keep a can or two of pumpkin puree in my pantry year round. Not only is it good for you, but it tastes great in soups, pancakes, muffins, and more.
Today I made a quick and easy pumpkin butter full of good spices and sweeteners. I like to make mine rich with spices so I add in a little extra. This recipe is amazing on toast or drizzled over breakfast pancakes and french toast. You can even use it as a topping on vanilla ice cream or cakes. If you love pumpkin like I do, you have to give my recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Butter a try. Grab these ingredients from your pantry and let's get started!
Spiced Pumpkin Butter
You can use a 14.5 ounce can of pumpkin or 1 3/4 cup of homemade pumpkin puree.
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup or a 14.5 oz. can pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (How to make pumpkin pie spice.)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. cloves
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup apple juice
Directions:
- Place pumpkin puree, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, brown sugar, apple juice, and pumpkin pie spice in a large saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a low boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Remove from burner and stir in vanilla. Cool completely then transfer to a jar with a tight fitting lid.
This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. If you think you won't consume it all, you can put it in smaller 4 oz. mason jars to share with friends and neighbors. It makes a delicious homemade hostess gift throughout the fall season!

Can Pumpkin Butter be canned to preserve? Thank you for recipe!
Alea Milham says
Yes, it can, but it is usually done with much larger batches than this recipe.

We love pumpkin butter! Looks easy enough that we could do it at home and I like that the recipe size isn’t so huge that you have to pull out the canning supplies and fill multiple jars if you don’t want to.
