This easy Spiced pumpkin butter recipe is made using a can of pumpkin puree. This saves you time since you don’t have to roast a pumpkin and puree it before making the pumpkin butter.
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 since 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 my pumpkin butter 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 as I do, you have to give my recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Butter a try. This makes a small batch of pumpkin butter. If you want to make extra for gifting, you can double or triple this recipe.
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 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (How to make pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon 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!

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.
I am co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty link party this month and would love to have you stop by for a visit. The next party opens at midnight Friday! http://www.alaynascreations.co
