Spiced Pumpkin Butter

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.
