Equipment

  • 1 Medium-Sized Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup water

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a medium-sized sauce pan. Whisk together well.
    1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, ¼ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup honey, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ cup water
  • Bring the mix to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat to the absolute lowest setting on your stove top.
  • Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The puree will turn a deep brown color as it carmelizes.
  • Once thick and dark brown, remove the pot from the stovetop and let cool completely. Pour into airtight containers and store in the fridge.

Notes

Storage: 
  • Store homemade pumpkin butter in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator. It will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
  • You can also freeze it for up to three months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before using. Give it a quick stir once it has defrosted to make sure any juices that may have separated are blended back in.
