I love a schmear of pumpkin butter on homemade bread! I used to buy a jar or two of pumpkin butter every fall...when I could find it, usually at a specialty grocery store or local produce stand. But a few years ago, my daughter Kristin gave me a jar of her homemade pumpkin butter. It was delicious! She assured me that it was easy, so I made some myself.

Do you like pumpkin butter? Apple butter? Do you make it yourself?
Looks like you enjoy yours on biscuits? Sounds yummy! (We don't eat enough bread around here to make it worthwhile, but it sure sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI already plan to make some this weekend. I'm a little behind this year!
ReplyDeleteOh it sounds so simple but looks So delicious! I must try this! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteNever had it or thought about it, but it looks and sounds good. I did make your pumpkin scones and they were a big hit! Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have never had pumpkin butter and the question is why not?! (Okay, I never heard about it before.) So is it used in the same ways that apple butter would be used?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's how we use it!
DeleteWell, I've never had pumpkin butter so I don't know. I'm guessing I would like it. Looks nice and easy to make...
ReplyDeleteI've never had pumpkin butter either, Cheryl. But I can bet it's good if you like it. I love pumpkin and making it with canned pumpkin sounds like a cinch to make. ♥
ReplyDeleteHmmm - those pumpkins on my front porch might have to become butter! My parents used to mix apples and pumpkin to make apple butter. I made Pear butter with our glut of pears a while ago - why not pumpkin butter too!? Thanks for this recipe Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteI always buy Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter! Yours sounds delicious! Would make a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI've never had it!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I don't know why I've never tried -- or made -- pumpkin butter. I love pumpkin, and apple butter, so why wouldn't I like pumpkin butter. I think maybe it's because I choose apple butter every time because I associate it with my grandma. Any food attached to memories of my grandmothers will always win out! :-) If I decide to try it, though, at least I know where to turn for a good recipe -- thanks!
